So, what now? Life in Paris post-grad

Wow, those 2 years flew by! I officially received my attestation de diplôme a few weeks ago, meaning that I now have my Masters in Communications, Media and Creative Industries!

I really enjoyed the second year of my Masters at Sciences Po, particularly the part of it that included working at L’Oréal. I was in the Beauty Tech & Digital Communications team for the past year, in charge of messaging. I found it so rewarding writing and communicating about innovations that help people with limited mobility to apply makeup, or help salons be more sustainable, for example. We were touching on how technology can make the beauty industry more personalized, inclusive and responsible, and throughout the year I worked on both internal content (like newsletters and position papers) and external content (like the L’Oréal Press Kit for VivaTech, a major tech event in Paris) alongside tech & digital experts. I loved the role and my team, and found it an invaluable experience to conclude my studies.

Nothing can fully prepare you for the transition from student to employee. Only one month in, the weeks are flying by! How are we only supposed to have 2 days of free time? Although I can’t complain, because as of right now while awaiting my next visa, I am working part-time so I still have a few extra days each week 😉

I am now working at a nonprofit in the culinary industry! It is a completely different world and requires tailoring to the different needs of a global audience of hospitality professionals. Doing social media, content and PR, I am excited to grow and learn more in this industry.

I am looking forward to seeing what is to come as I begin my professional career. I love working in communications because you have a lot of room for creativity, and it also requires a lot of writing, one of my favorite activities! As for what comes next, as I transition to this new chapter of life I look forward to taking advantage of living and working in Europe, being able to travel, use the extensive vacation to spend time at home, and of course, continuing to explore Paris!

Stay tuned for more:)
