What was the most impactful experience during your time at WP Carey?
The most impactful experience for me was studying abroad in Argentina. Taking what I was learning within an American business context and then trying to apply it to another country taught me about unique challenges other places may have.
It was also a great opportunity to see another interesting place, observe similarities and differences, and make good friends. I still think about the lessons from that experience, and it was certainly the most memorable part of my education at WP Carey.
