My experience abroad...
Living in Buenos Aires this summer has definitely changed the way I picture my professional journey. I took on an incredibly creative role this summer whether I was filming content for sustainable clothing brands or interviewing designers at fashion exhibits with my colleagues. I am eager to find ways to incorporate similar projects in the opportunities to come. I also discovered my interest in the consumer retail industry through my internship. The powerful stories behind such well-crafted clothing pieces are ones that I will never forget, and I hope to market similar stories to an even larger audience in the future!
