Hello! My name is Rachel Siefert and I
am a senior in Chatham University’s interior design program. I have been
interested in design since I was a child, so I am very excited to begin my
career after graduation! In addition to attending my classes, I work on campus
and am involved in a few clubs. I love to bake, read novels, and spend time
with my friends and family.
This past summer, I studied abroad at a university in Florence, Italy. It was a wonderful experience! I loved learning about another country and culture first-hand. One of my favorite parts about the trip was trying all of the delicious food! Ever since I returned from Italy, I have wanted to travel internationally again and learn about other cultures. As part of this course, I will be flying to Tunghai University in Taiwan in May with a group of other Chatham students. I am really looking forward to it!

My family is from a small town just
outside of Pittsburgh. I am an only child and do not have any pets. Much of my
extended family lives in the same area, so we see them often and are very
close. My family is also from Italy, making cooking and eating two of our favorite activities!

When I am in Pittsburgh at Chatham, one of my most treasured activities is visiting the nearby Phipps Conservatory. Phipps is similar to a giant green house that contains a variety of beautiful plants, trees, and flowers from around the world. Every few months, they change the arrangements so that there is always something new to see! The building is also one of the most sustainable in the world!

Hello, Rachel. I’m your learning partner in Tunghai university, and my name is Hannah Wang. I’m glad that you like interior design, and so do I. But what I do is only appreciate other’s designs. Just like you, I would like to travel to foreign countries, and I think learning different cultures has a lot of fun. It’s a pity I haven’t been abroad yet; however, I’m looking forward to your coming and I hope you’ll like Taiwan. If you come, you must go to night markets. It’s one of the most famous tourist attractions, and you’ll find many delicious and cheap Taiwanese snacks there.
