CLAIRE CONQUERS SLOVENIA

The Adventures of an American Student in the Green Heart of Europe

Claire Nicole Staresinic

Dober dan! My name is Claire Staresinic, and I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States. I am a second-year pre-medical student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. At school, I study psychology and German, but I am also interested in business and entrepreneurship. My great-grandparents moved to the U.S. from Slovenia, and I have always wanted to visit my ancestral homeland and learn the Slovenian language. I came to LanguageSitter® through AmCham Slovenia’s European Experience in the Green Heart of Europe program for international students. This opportunity allows me to gain insight into how a small company operates as well as learn basic Slovene. Stay tuned for my videos documenting my journey!
