Before Sydney, I thought the most important things I’d bring home would be on my resume. Turns out a lot of what I’ve learned is stuff you can’t really put in a bullet point. The biggest one is communication. Like I mentioned in my last post, interns at CareGP are expected to share their ideas…
Getting Involved with the Culture
The part of Australian deep culture I find most interesting is how relaxed and equal everyone acts. At CareGP, I call my boss by his first name, and in meetings, interns are expected to give their opinions just like everyone else. Decisions feel like a group thing instead of something passed down from the top….
My Environment in Sydney
UTS is in Ultimo, right by Central Station, but my favorite place so far is Manly. You take the ferry from Circular Quay, and the ride alone is worth it because you pass the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Then there’s the main beach plus Shelly Beach, a quieter cove just a short walk away….
Buon Fall Break!
As I come to the halfway point in my study abroad, I’m realizing how much I’ve learned so far during my time. Before going abroad, I had never been to Europe, and only experienced travel with a school group or my family. Doing it all on your own is something completely different, and that has…
Parlez-Vous Français ? Building New Skills in France
Since arriving in France, my courses have allowed me to strengthen a range of skills, both hard and soft. Before coming to NEOMA, I was “warned” that the courses here heavily valued groupwork.

At an international school like Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, students come from all over the world to take classes here. My classes are full…
Halftime in London
Hi again! I can’t believe I’m already halfway through my semester here in London. Throughout my time within the classroom, some of the soft skills I think I’ve developed include adaptability, flexibility, and definitely cross-cultural collaboration. So far, there have been a couple circumstances that have resulted in a need to adapt and move on….
Pitt to London!!
Studying abroad at LSE has taught me a lot more than what I learn in the classroom. Most of my classes here are graded through group projects, and since LSE is such an international school, almost every team I’ve worked on has been made up of people from different countries. That pushed me to get…
Belfast Diaries: Skills In and Out of the Classroom
Welcome back to the Belfast Diaries! I am now in the middle of the semester, and the deadlines for essays and presentations only loom closer and closer. The past six weeks have flown by in a flash, and I don’t really know where all that time went… However, I think there are a few skills…
