For my internship, I am working in the healthcare technology and medical research industry. More specifically, I am interning at the Medical Imaging Informatics Laboratory (MediSC) within Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). The lab focuses on combining healthcare with technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR), including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR),…
“No worries,” I’m still here
I want you to imagine what it’s like to be in front of your boss. Or your professor. Or anyone in a “higher level” than you. Imagine you clear your throat, maybe hold out your hand for a formal shake, and address them with sincerity and respect. Maybe everything coming out of your mouth is…
Dropping the Guard Down Under
As I am finishing my fourth weekend here, I think I can finally say I am adjusted to the time difference and culture here. I don’t exactly think I still fit in 100%, but I do think I understand the people and cultural aspects better than when I first arrived. I think most recently, I…
Subway, or should I say Metro, Surfers
Salut tout le monde! In the first few weeks of my time abroad, I was able to establish myself in the Epinettes neighborhood in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. I started to create my own little routine. To give you a glimpse of what a morning in my life was like, I will begin by…

A brief break from Dublin to London
So somehow we have now entered the fourth week of living in Dublin, and I feel like the seemingly long time I have here is quickly fading away. I am having so much fun in Dublin experiencing all that it has to offer, and there is still so much I have to do. However, this…
Week 3: Settling In (sorta)
¡Hola! Time has been flying by here in Madrid (as it often does when you’re having fun), and I can’t believe it’s getting close to halfway through the program. This past week I had a friend from Pitt and my parents visit me, which made me realize how settled I’d become; I actually had recommendations…
Irish Lads are the Best
Although I have been in Dublin for 3 weeks now and have spent every possible minute exploring the island, culture, and history, I still feel like I am just scratching the surface of Irish culture. To tell you the truth, my favorite part about being here so far is the people. From the different conversations…
