The ILAP experience gave me the opportunity to live in a city I had never experienced before, where I gained valuable professional skills and worked in a diverse environment. This exposure inspired me to pursue opportunities beyond Texas, focus on securing a full-time role, and build both personal and professional networks in a new city.”

I had the opportunity to work directly with refugees, which helped me learn the importance of resilience and advocacy. Getting to immerse in the Sevilla culture helped me learn so much about the city, myself and what I wanted public service to look like in my career. My experience drove me to spaces and opportunities I never thought were possible.

ILAP was incredibly fulfilling, it gave me an opportunity to have a culturally immersive experience with the support of the international Aggie network. I had the privilege of working in the field I was studying, finance, from an international perspective. I also got to live in the center of Sevilla with Carmen, who opened her home and took great care of me and another ILAP member for our two-month stay abroad.
