New York City is one of my favorite places in the entire world and I can’t believe I’m going to be seeing it in an entirely new light. I’m amazed, not only by the fact that our program has the chance to learn about the industry from some of the greatest minds within it, but also by the fact that we get to do so in a place that is so rich in diversity, culture, and opportunity.

I’ve been to New York a few times in the past but never with the amount of freedom and responsibility I have this time around. It’s both overwhelming and exciting to know that the world is our oyster and what we get out of this trip depends entirely on what we do here and now.

As someone who entered the advertising program later in my college career, there have been times when I felt I was too far behind to make my mark. When I found out I was going on this trip I felt shocked and excited knowing that despite my “lateness to the game” (if you will) I still had the potential to do great things in advertising. I see this trip as my chance to be fully immersed in the real world, explore the world of strategy, and discover new things about myself, my peers, and the professionals I hope to work with someday.

All in all, I can’t wait to be back in the greatest city in the world, it’s time to get busy!
