What if your study abroad experience wasn’t just a semester, but the launchpad for something greater? That’s exactly what happened for Caitlin Heelan, an American University grad who turned her study abroad program in Paris into the beginning of a global career.
After working with the Embassy of France in the U.S., Caitlin had already fallen in love with French culture. But it wasn’t until she arrived in Paris with API that her future truly came into focus.
“After an amazing experience working with the Embassy of France in the U.S., I fell in love with the culture, language, and vibe of this beautiful country. My time abroad with API in Paris solidified my passion for communications and set me on a path to pursue my career here.”
While living in Paris, Caitlin built skills like strategic communication, adaptability, and creativity through real-world experience. She interned with Susan Davis International, honed her storytelling abilities, and discovered how global immersion can shape your voice and vision.
