My internship in Shanghai

My internship in Shanghai was the first time I experienced working in an international business environment, and it completely reshaped how I see my career. I was placed in a marketing role with a mid-sized company, where I worked on real campaigns and interacted with clients. The staff were always supportive, and I felt like part of the team instead of just ‘an intern.’ Living in China pushed me out of my comfort zone daily—whether ordering food in Mandarin or figuring out the subway—but that’s exactly what made it unforgettable. It was professional growth mixed with cultural discovery, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
