Life changing experience and new opportunities

I had to fight a little to get more options and finally land on the internship I was placed at, but it was fate - a perfect fit.

I interned at a digital advertising agency startup with a small ~10 member international team that spoke English, French, and Japanese. They gave me so much support and resources to quickly learn about digital advertising and I really think I grew and developed my skills.

The sharehouse, while far and often dirty (shared kitchens are never fun) allowed me to meet some really great people and have some travel-buddies. I think I made some life-long friends there.

The Tokyo program internship coordinators, Ayane, Airi, and Shaina were all truly amazing. They really made the experience go above and beyond expectations. They always made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of, but also organized a ton of events for us to explore and immerse in Japanese culture and cuisine. I had such an amazing time and I am happy to call them all friends.

Because of the support and encouragement, I am going to come back to Tokyo very soon to look for work and start up life!
