Choosing to study in Paris was one of the most independent decisions I have made. I came here without having visited the school or knowing anyone.

Living here has pushed me to grow in so many ways. I’ve learned how to navigate the city on my own, adapt to a new culture, and build a new community from scratch.

I am deeply interested in language and culture, and living in Paris has allowed me to improve my French while continuing to build on my Spanish.

The art scene here is incredibly inspiring and has influenced both my photography and studio work.

My experience in Paris has reinforced my desire to study in a global city for college. I am especially interested in continuing to explore the intersection of art, culture, and the music industry.
