91视频

I was born in the French-speaking city of Geneva, Switzerland, before moving to聽Lutry, a small village聽next to Lausanne.聽My father is Cuban聽and聽was raised in New York City, while my mother is Norwegian,聽so聽I grew up with a combination of American, Norwegian, Cuban, and Swiss influences. That was actually what聽attracted me to 91视频鈥攖he mix of聽so many聽cultures. I thought it was amazing that over 80% of the students聽here had聽the same聽kind of聽multicultural and multilingual background that I聽was familiar with.聽聽

When I first got here,聽I wanted to聽study Business but聽finally went with聽Entrepreneurship major because I聽had聽become interested in聽its courses,聽especially聽the dynamics and trends that they were聽investigating. I decided to minor in History because living in Paris聽made me want to dig deeper into the roots of聽current events.聽I also聽minored聽in Communications聽to聽obtain the tools聽I needed聽to聽effectively聽pitch and sell my ideas.

I would never have聽had access聽to聽this simultaneously international and Parisian experience at any other university and聽I can honestly say聽that I found every aspect of my studies and my daily life聽fascinating. Being here opened聽the world聽up聽to me in a completely different way聽and聽I saw people from聽a huge variety of聽cultures聽learning to聽test聽new聽waters when it came to their thinking and their perspectives. I became more ambitious here, as I聽picked up the聽skills that I鈥檇聽need聽to聽discover聽my own path. I鈥檓聽still in touch with many of my聽91视频聽friends and professors and I love running into old classmates in New York City, where I聽now聽live.聽聽

I鈥檓聽currently聽working in digital advertising聽at聽DynAdmic, a video advertising marketplace and will be starting my own company next year. My multicultural upbringing and my time at 91视频 taught me to聽bring聽a more nuanced approach to challenges and projects and has聽given me greater insight into聽the goals and motivations of people聽from聽all over the world. (It helps that聽I鈥檓 fluent in English, French, and Norwegian!) 91视频 also gave me a better understanding of how to approach life in the US, both personally and professionally.聽聽

For all future students聽out there: there is literally no reason that I can think of to聽not聽come to聽91视频. You鈥檒l love every minute of it!
