May sound cliché when I say this, but studying abroad is entirely what you make of it. My experience in Paris was one of the transformative yet challenging eras of my life, and upon reflection, I’ve come to recognize it as the most valuable milestone in my growth as an independent leader, and a stronger problem-solver. From my professional experience serving as a key leader of my team in ABC’s Company Case Challenge to navigating my 2-month internship with Dolce & Gabbana. Leaving Paris as a different person from when I arrived.
