MY STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE

In the Spring semester of 2025, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy, through CEA CAPA Education Abroad. Living and learning in Florence allowed me to immerse myself in Italian culture while gaining a global perspective on communication and design. From exploring historic architecture and art to engaging with locals and international students, the experience broadened my creativity, adaptability, and appreciation for cultural storytelling. This semester abroad not only enriched my academic journey but also inspired me to approach advertising and public relations with a more international and innovative mindset.

EXPERIENCES & LEARNINGS
My time studying in Florence was a transformative period of creative and personal growth. It required a complete immersion in a new visual culture, forcing me to redefine my approach to storytelling and community-driven design. This immersion challenged my assumptions and refined my ability to communicate concepts across cultural boundaries.

Grazie!
My study abroad experience was a series of lessons in adaptability and perspective. Immersing myself in a new culture allowed me to deconstruct my existing processes and rebuild them with a global lens. Today, I bring that same curiosity and cross-cultural insight to every project, ensuring that our creative output resonates far beyond borders and offers unique, world-standard value to every client.
