The Flock event at Horizon was something I’ll always cherish for many reasons. First and foremost, it was extremely beneficial to find more ways to support and be an ally for women, especially in the workplace. It was inspiring to see such a large group of people working together to better themselves. The panel advised us that if we were going to make a mistake, to “fail upwards” by learning how to improve from our actions.

After the panel, I had a chance to catch up with my friend Casey, who recently graduated from the advertising program and is currently working at Horizon. She took me on a tour of the office that ended at the rooftop deck, and it was exhilarating to see the city from above. I couldn’t believe that Casey experienced this on a daily basis. It made me even more eager to find a way to move to New York.
