Studying abroad has absolutely changed me both personally and professionally. Professionally, my internship taught me that I know marketing is the right field for me. This was my first experience in a major marketing department. I’ve had experience in small marketing departments, but this internship focused on the marketing you can’t learn in a classroom. I learned how to do everything from writing a creative brief, plan and execute a budget, how to work across teams, social media marketing, planning a photoshoot and so much more. I never thought I’d be able to have this much experience before even leaving college. Doing all these tasks and working across all these teams assured my decision that marketing is the right field for me. I love the fact that I was always on my feet and constantly interacting with people to get a task done. I’ve learned that you when you have a large business like the Sydney Opera House, having a solid team behind you is essential. As for me personally, I now know that I want to be a world traveler. I never want to be the person who stays in one city the rest of my life. I would love to travel as a part of my career and see all different parts of the world. Studying abroad has given me the travel bug – I’m already planning trips for this summer.
