On residual effect from my time in politics has shaped how I see my future career going. I grew to become disillusioned with the United States due to the deterioration of the economy, the lack of willingness to be open to different concepts on how to fix it, and the overall ideas of the U.S. being higher than the rest of the world. My experience within U.S. politics helped me gain clairvoyance on the arrogance of America. We like to think very high of ourselves, but the fact is that we're all on the same globe. And if we're going to survive, we need to be willing to admit that point, but American's are less and less likely to see that. So I took the opportunity while at MU to get an international internship and stay abroad to test how I would do living in a different culture.

 

I spent 4 months living in Islington, a neighborhood on the Northside of London, working as a social media content creator for a local sports non-profit known as the London Basketball Association (LBA). My primary assignments each week was to shoot highlights at weekly scrimmages, create interesting and informative advertisements for the LBA's social networks, and post creative short form content that got participants involved with the sport through fun quizzes and rankings. My time across the pond confirmed to me that I should attempt to work in the UK, or even beyond in other countries connected to the crown. 

​

My time abroad helped develop social media development skills, CapCut editing skills, and people skills through connecting with basketball scrimmage participants in a different culture. I hope to mainly utilize my skills gained at home and abroad in the UK and other similar cultural countries.
