MARIANA DELACQUA






Growing Opportunities
I was born in a small town in the outskirts of São Paulo, Brazil. Right before my 9th birthday my family and I moved to Lima, Peru where we stayed for a few months. However, not even a year after arriving in Peru, we were already on to our next destination… to Mexico City where we stayed for a year. Within those first two years away from home I was almost able to fluently speak Spanish while simultaneously learning to speak English. Soon thereafter, we made a short move to Florida, USA where I finished up my elementary education.

Returning Home
Then middle school came, in a new continent, with new friends, and a new language. Belgium was beautiful and alongside learning to speak French, I was able to visit new places while traveling around various countries throughout Europe with my family. This journey lasted three years and allowed me to build life long relationships. Finally, move number five sent us back home, where I completed high school at Graded the American School of São Paulo, graduating with an American Diploma and an International Diploma.
Building a Career
Four years later I found myself having to create a new home once again. However, this time around the choice was all mine and my choice was Seton Hall University. Over the last three years I have worked hard to translate my life experiences into my studies and visa versa. Through studying Public Relations and International Relations I have come to know the power of communication in every aspect of my personal, academic and professional life. My adaptability, flexibility, and curiosity for adventures pushes me to continuously embark in new journeys. I cannot wait for the next one!
