The End of an Era

It makes me incredibly sad that the summer in Paris has come to an end. I have had an absolute blast working, learning the language, discovering the city/country, and making unforgettable memories and relationships with the locals. In addition to that, it has been a summer that has been filled with both personal and professional…

Professional Success

Here is to my last week in Paris! I cannot believe that these 8 weeks have gone by so fast. I remember being told by an EUSA team member how 8 weeks would go by without even realizing it–I guess I did not believe him until now. During my stay in Paris, France I have…
