<\/strong>It was a total relief! I wasn’t supposed to come this year for my master’s degree, but next year. There were administrative errors and I learned in May that I had to come this year. I was not at all prepared to come and having this scholarship relieved me a lot. I don\u2019t really know what I would have done without this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did you choose Paris? Would you rather work in management or in creation?<\/strong> You have been a web developer for six years. How did this appear in your life?<\/strong> And do you like it? And what would be your ideal project, the project of your dreams?<\/strong> Can you talk a little about the internship you are currently doing?<\/strong> How do you feel here, in the MEC?<\/strong> Althea Yi is the first MEC resident to have the David and Liliane Stewart Scholarship, offered by the Macdonald Stewart Foundation to a Canadian student who wishes to pursue higher studies in Paris.

<\/strong>I’ve been working in web development for 6 years, but during the pandemic I started to be interested in cinema and I made some short films. So I realized that the creative part of a project is more fluid for me than the administrative part. That\u2019s why last year I decided to look for a course that could help me fill this gap in order to be able to manage my projects.\u00a0 I found a master’s degree in Management of Cultural Organizations at Paris Dauphine, which has a specialization in audiovisual. I made the request and I said to myself: \u201cwe\u2019ll see what happens…\u201d. And they accepted me…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather creation. Everything creative comes more easily to me. Knowing how to run a business is more difficult, because I’m not very good with numbers. This is why I prefer to study everything related to management, which I find difficult, and to be more self-taught in everything relative to creativity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I did a master’s degree in linguistics and that was when I started web development, because I wanted to make a website for my dissertation. So I started finding small web jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>For me it’s quite functional. I wanted to develop a website for my dissertation. I learned how to do it. Afterwards I had a job, a job like any other and then another and another and another… The last job was the one that interested me the most because it was a software for the film industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>It\u2019s also a question of money, but the ideal would be to direct a feature film and also to write some novels. Yes, that\u2019s my dream project: to be an artist and make a living from it. But it’s not easy. I am still aware of the fact that there are finances to pay so I may return to web development from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I work as a production assistant in a company that manufactures glasses. I’m in the image department and I do everything : photo shooting, finding filming locations for their advertisements, etc. It\u2019s still creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel very comfortable in the MEC. The kitchen on my floor is clean and the residents are very friendly. I am also part of the residents’ committee, as secretary. It\u2019s a lot of work, but I like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/etudiantscanadiens.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/screenshot-2023-11-30-at-14.23.06-1.jpg\")
