A few words about your career. Where you started after graduation and how your career have progressed: 

After graduation, I worked as a Marketing Affiliate Assistant for an American company based in Spain. After almost a year in the company, a former employer called me and offered me a job in a new office they opened in Canada. I am now working in this company and have a very versatile position. 

Any advice you would like to current students:

Try to gain as much work experience as you can while studying as it can be tough to find a first job if you don't have meaningful work experiences. My internships allowed me to expand my professional network which lead me to have my current job in Canada. 

-How it was like to study in Sweden and Umeå:

Coming from a French educational system, it has been challenging for me to learn the Swedish way of studying. In France we are not as theoritical as in Sweden, but I truely enjoyed this difference as I gained much more knowledge in the less time spent studying in Sweden than in France.
