Statement: "Throughout winter and spring term I have been seeking online for summer internships in France.  I found an application for MethoCAD, a five awards-winning graphic software company located in Paris. Besides of its appealing location, I saw that they were looking for an intern in the Marketing Department, an area that would involve both of my French and visual arts background. I immediately applied and a week later was accepted to the position in a skype conference call. After taking all basic and intermediate level French courses here at Union and having the opportunity to participate in the Fall Term Abroad Program in France (2009), I feel I am prepared for this next step to come."
