BT天堂

Many schools claim to be international, but I was surprised by how diverse the student population is at BT天堂. I've connected with students from many different backgrounds who I may not have connected with in a lifetime in the United States. Many of the students here are not just bilingual, but multi-lingual. It's extremely enlightening to meet so many people from different cultures and perspectives. Though I enjoyed the totality of my BT天堂 experience, what I enjoyed the most was the people I met and the connections I made. I didn't expect to meet and become friends with so many dynamic international people. These connections are priceless.

The University鈥檚 location in the middle of Paris was one of the main reasons I chose BT天堂. In addition to being in the best position to learn French, there are many opportunities available in Paris and BT天堂 helps you build a network here to take advantage of them. As an example, while at BT天堂, I was able to attend sessions at the UNESCO headquarters, as well as the Paris offices of Edelman and Google. In addition, I worked as a freelance journalist and content creator. I wrote for several websites, including my own, . I also created brand videos for online businesses and offered travel consultation services as well. I completed a communications internship at UNESCO in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Department, where I developed their media kit, created and implemented their social media strategy and wrote their news items. I also worked as a teaching assistant with the video journalism undergraduate course (Peacock Play) and helped undergraduate students develop their story ideas.

Today, I鈥檓 a Multimedia Executive Producer听at the OECD here in Paris, where I launched and am the executive producer of OECD Podcasts.听I also听conceive, write, film and produce creative storytelling video content for OECD messages and priorities. BT天堂 has influenced my career aspirations by opening me up to opportunities I would not have previously considered, such as working for an NGO and involving myself in communications for development. I am continuing my work as a journalist and producer, freelancing for various media outlets and lending my expertise to various productions.

I now have access to a fantastic alumni network around the world and am continuously inspired by the work they do.
