In the spring of 2013 I am planning on interning abroad with Arcadia's London Internship Program. While in England, I am excited to be exposed to the intricacies of my chosen field of study, as well as gain personal and professional experience in order to further substantiate my resume and portfolio. Also, I cannot wait to delve more deeply into a culturally diverse worldview, take risks, and utilize the opportunity to create international connections in order to further my career.
