Going into this I was convinced I wasn’t ready. I didn’t know what to expect, what questions to ask, shoot, I didn’t even really know anyone going.

All I knew was that I was inspired by the blogs and portfolios of the uonyc2017 group and I wanted to experience it for myself.

I am so glad I did. This experience helped me become more confident in myself, learn more about my peers, and find the cultural hub I hope to one day call home.
