“I wrote a case study on a business in Barcelona that builds fire safety systems for companies in 40 countries worldwide. I analyzed whether the company should expand into the South African or the U.S. market. At the end of the project, I presented my analysis and recommendations as if I were her consultant. This project wasn't just a hypothetical exercise—it took my education to a whole new level of realness.”
