Traveling to NYC was a life changing experience for me. It opened my eyes on where to go from here to improve myself and my career.
For my career, visiting PRG was a major career boost. I am looking into hopefully working with them after I graduate from UWM. It showed me that what I want to do can translate into various fields for jobs. Getting a personal backstage tour of Kinky Boots was a blast. Being able to talk to a professional in a field I am looking into was helpful. He told me what it takes to get to Broadway and how to do it and what jobs are more beneficial.
The other backstage tours were useful too, but not as useful because they were not focused into what I am going into.
Before I left to go to NYC, I was not that excited. I have never been to the East Coast and was not too interested in possibly working out there. But after living there for five days, I am in love with the East Coast now. I am looking into work on the East Coast to hopefully outreach and network across the there then venture across the country.
