Before coming to Ireland I have always had a deep drive to succeed in everything that I do. Walking into Dublin I didn’t exactly know what success in this internship would look like. There are so many different measures of success, but my standards have always been extremely high. That being said, I truly believe…

This week at Flynn O’Driscoll, I found myself doing many interesting and meaningful tasks. Laura and I went on a coffee run, and it made me realize that I had grown up with the idea that internships did not involve real work.

Working at Flynn O’Driscoll has been a great experience so far. I am a finance and accounting intern and my main goal for the internship is to prepare…

Grand, what an incredible week. This week I arrived in Dublin early on Sunday morning and we stayed moving since touch down. Everyday has been an adventure so far.
