Hey everyone! My name is Jessica Mariani and I am originally from Australia, but I am now living in sunny Los Angeles, California.  Even though I’ve been here in the US for 8 years now, you’ll probably still hear me speaking with a funny accent and using words like “reckon,” and “lollies,” instead of “think” and “candy.”  I’m currently a Junior in the College, majoring in Government, and I honestly can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be!
           
Georgetown is an absolutely amazing college, and there’s never a shortage of things to do here on the Hilltop. Every time you walk through Red Square, you’ll see endless flyers about all of the activities and clubs being run by students, from Hilltop Consulting to the Georgetown University Grilling Society.  Since I’ve been here, a truly incredible list of guest speakers have visited our campus. We’ve had the opportunity to hear people like Prince Charles, former Presidents of the United States, as well as heads of state from countries including the Ukraine and Spain. 

If you’re like me and love watching sports, you’ll have a LOT of fun going to the Verizon Center to cheer on the Hoyas! There’s also a huge range of fantastic restaurants here in Georgetown, with everything from Bangkok Bistro, to Wisey’s Deli, to my personal favorite - The Tombs.  I’ve loved every single minute of my Georgetown experience thus far, and the only problem is that it’s going by so quickly.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have about any aspect of life here at Georgetown!
