These are just a few of my favorite pictures from my study abroad adventure in Europe in the summer of 2019! This experience helped me grow as a student, individual and as a future public relations professional. I lived in Paris from the month of May to June and studied International Strategic Communication with an emphasis in Public Relations and Advertising. We visited different advertising agencies such as 72 and Sunny, 180 Kingsday and Widen and Kennedy in Amsterdam, 20 Something in Brussels and Rosbeef! in Paris. We heard from Vichy's head of social media, influencer marketing and advocacy, Kelsey Page who told us about the company's PR efforts and what her role in social media looks like.  

​

I will take this experience with me wherever I go, it was one of the most valuable things I have done to date. Besides learning about the ins and out of life in an agency, I also learned skills to improve my professionalism, how to collaborate effectively and most importantly, I was pushed outside of my comfort zone. I find this to be essential, how can you grow otherwise?
