What inspired you to study abroad?
Well, I´ve been living abroad most of my life and that’s something that has always been in transit, but I always wanted to do. Spain just has been a dream of mine, being here is like living a dream.
How is living in Barcelona?
I absolutely love this city, and for me it’s the culture of this city that speaks volume, the people, the life, and the creative environment is really what touches me as a creative. It just fuels you within the city.
How do you see yourself in future?
I love UX writing, that’s something I am a fan, and I have an internship in. So, in the near future, building on the skills sets that I have acquired here and also in the later future making a life here would be great for me.
Are you developing new skills?
Everyday. Every day in the classroom and then outside socially, networking with people, and then the masterclasses that we have are exceptional. Getting so many different perspectives on this field is super helpful.
Why would you recommend Barcelona Technology School?
Honestly for me, I did a lot of research looking around at different programs and for me what spoke about BTS is the project-based curriculum. Is that everything is about the project, collaborating and working together. For me that matches with the real world. For me this is really why I chose this program because I want it to be seamless as I transition into the actual sector that I want to be working in.
Is this time abroad impacting your life?
Yes, I feel like this will change the course of my life forever.
How is your experience at Barcelona Technology School?
Everybody is fabulous, honestly, for me it’s the relationships that I build here. From everybody from the front house to professors, to just workshops that we do. Everybody is phenomenal.
