My Experience Abroad:
As a Graphic Design student, I wanted to learn if design, as a language, is truly transferable across continents. I wanted to gain new perspectives on how other schools and students approach design. As someone who has never been outside of the country for an extended period of time, I wanted to take a chance and experience life in a new city and a new country. I wouldn't trade my study abroad experience for the world because the lessons that I learned were invaluable. Being abroad and attending Goldsmiths College in South London gave me the confidence that I needed to feel like I could tackle anything that may be thrown my way. A lot of times when pursuing personal and professional goals, the future can seem daunting. However, my time abroad taught me that the uncertainty and discomfort of trying new things can be met with a brave outlook and a relaxed mindset because everything can and will work out in the end.
