Through this experience, I was able to connect my film major with my dance minor by creating a dance film that raises awareness about gun violence. I hope that my film educates viewers on gun violence in schools and inspires them through dance and filmmaking.

This internship confirmed for me that digital marketing is something that I would like to do career-wise moving forward.

This experience confirmed as well as enhanced my interest in the medical field. Observing how another country’s health care system functions, while immersing myself in a new culture and language, will help me to provide more comprehensive care as a health care professional in the future.
