RSI Amity Intern Spotlight: Hellen Daniela Arias Arévalo

Amity Interns are one of the most unique characteristics of our school. They serve as global ambassadors of their respective home countries while enhancing and expanding our students' global awareness with cultural exchanges/intercambios culturales. At RSI, Interns also help support Spanish language and literacy development of our students across all grade levels.  

Introducing Amity Intern:  Hellen Daniela Arias Arévalo

Home Country: Ibagué, Colombia.

In her own words: 

My name is Hellen, I am from Ibagué, a city in Colombia. I am an English teacher who
completed her undergraduate studies at Universidad del Tolima, a public
university. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in English Didactics at
the same university.

I have a deep love and respect for her parents, who taught her to be
responsible, respectful, and honest. She also has a younger brother named
Miguel Angel. I am an animal lover and has two pets: a dog named Felicia and a cat
named Sue.

I love to travel because of the experiences and knowledge that each trip
brings. I have visited four different countries: Mexico, Ecuador, Trinidad and
Tobago, and Brazil.

Hobbies and interest

I am passionate about swimming; I have been swimming since the age of 5. She
considers herself a good swimmer. I find painting both interesting and relaxing. I began learning it when
I was 19 years old, and to date, I have been able to sell one of my paintings. Finally, I also enjoy going to concerts, particularly metal concerts, which is my favorite genre of music. Her favorite band is Gojira, a French band. I have
attended two of their concerts.

RSI will be hosting 10 interns for the 24-25 school year! Any and all support that RSI families give to this program is appreciated and provides a meaningful impact. This can include sharing a meal together to sharing your home. Please click here for more info!
