Overview + Future learning

The experience that I have gained during my quarters in NYC is, in many ways, more valuable to my future career goals than what I have experienced in the classroom alone. While I have been involved in marketing opportunities on campus, my internship allowed me to gain first-hand experience of what a career in marketing may look like. I also gained valuable skills in marketing strategy and data analytics that are nearly impossible to gather from a typical university course. Through both my internship and just the new setting of the city, I faced and solved new challenges that helped me to grow into a better version of myself.

I am happy that the extended time of an additional quarter allowed me to take on even greater responsibilities at Bokksu and secure a summer position with the company. I remain hopeful that through this opportunity, or perhaps another one, I will find myself back in the city after graduation. After working on the side of the advertisers, I am interested to see how my perspective will change when I return to my Stanford communication courses that focus on evolving media.

With my experiences across my internship and the city, I believe I have accomplished the general objectives of the SiNY program. I have loved my time in NYC and my time with the SiNY program so much, and I am excited to see where this opportunity and experience can take me in the future.
