Back in May, prior to boarding my flight to Stockholm and making small talk with relatives at a family function, I was asked the perfectly normal question of, “What are you going to be doing in Stockholm for two months?”. This was easy. I knew this one. “Well, it’s an internship program, so probably coffee…
Lambs and Universal Healthcare
This past week was definitely the most productive one I have had since starting my internship. On Monday, I was able to meet the entire team for the first time over zoom. It felt great to be able to talk to people during the day rather than just over email. I now feel much more…
Slowing Down is Harder Than It Seems
After traveling to another city literally every weekend (and even another country during the week), I finally decided to stay put this past weekend. While many of my peers went to Sevilla, my new friend Ashley and I stayed back to enjoy what the outdoors of Madrid has to offer. We went hiking at La…
Managing Time and Prioritizing Tasks During My Internship
Time management has been one of the most important skills I have developed during my internship.

Touchdowns, Tiny Lambs & Thinking Differently
Dublin Diaries | Week 4 Sheep, Scrums and Staying Flexible What a week it has been! Week four in Dublin has honestly been so great, packed with two experiences that could not be more different from each other but both equally memorable in their own way. On Friday evening, we got to attend the 2026…
Another Week, Another Experience
There is so much to do in Seoul! I’ve been here for two weeks and I feel like I have only scratched the surface of all of the amazing restaurants and cafes this city has to offer. Because I work in Seongsu, an amazing area for shopping and dining, everyday after work I ask my…
Time Balancing
Week three has been very fun outside of the office. On Monday, one of the interns from Yonsei University took me and another intern out sightseeing, and we went up a mountain where we got a really nice view of the whole city. There was a teahouse on top of the mountain, but it was…
