My Experience Abroad:
During my time abroad, I learned a significant amount about how the Australian government operates and interacts with the private sector, such as through media outlets, social services, and welfare of citizens. As a PPE major, this information is personally invaluable to my studies and essential to deepening my understanding of political and economic landscapes on a larger, macroeconomic level. I gained firsthand experience working with the Australian economy from a private perspective in my internship company as I dealt with their financial accounting and bookkeeping for the upcoming end of the financial year across the country. These experiences have allowed my major to take on a new depth and layer that I never anticipated before.
