Mil gracias

To say the least Paris was an amazing experience, the food, people and environment exceeded my expectations. The tour at Leo Burnett and visits at Parsons gave me a peek at what I have to look forward to in my own career and inspired me to work a little harder and dream a little bigger. The insight and inspiration that I gained from the trip is priceless and I know that I would love to come back to the “city of lights.”" - Allison Amber, Graphic Communication

“Lo menos que puedo decir es que Paris fue una experiencia fabulosa; la comida, las personas y el ambiente superaron mis expectativas. Tanto el tour a Leo Burnett como las visitas a Parsons me dieron una breve visión de lo que podía lograr en mi carrera y me sirvió de inspiración para trabajar con mayor ahínco y soñar un poco más en grande. Los conocimientos e inspiración que obtuve durante el viaje es invalorable y sé que me encantaría volver a la «ciudad de las luces».” - Allison Amber, Comunicación Gráfica
