Before arriving in Stockholm, there was a fear of a communication issue in the workplace. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the ability to communicate with my other interns and the partners, as everyone spoke and wrote in English, allowing for me to understand past documents and what they were conversing about. A lot of…

Sandals in the Office
I honestly couldn’t really give a real definition of success for the Czech Republic. Their model of success is more about affording a fulfilling life by whatever means necessary. One common theme I’ve noticed across Europe as a whole, is that work isn’t the main thing people care about. It’s something that they take pride…
One Last Letter to Prague
Wow, I can’t believe I’m back in the US writing this. I’m happy to be home, but honestly a little sad too. My last week at Provencelia was full of goodbyes, one dinner after another with the friends I made, the kind where everyone kept ordering one more thing because no one wanted to be…
My Take on Czech Success
This last week in Prague was truly bittersweet. On a personal note, the farewells were amazing with all of the people I had met here, and it was a great time spending the last few nights here and reminiscing on some of the things we will miss, going to our favorite restaurants, and obviously visiting…
Last Day Before Ireland: PIT –> DUB!

Looking Back, Looking Ahead
As our time in Pittsburgh comes to a close, it is hard to believe how much has happened over the past two weeks. What began as a whirlwind of orientations, team-building activities, and introductions has transformed into an experience that has challenged me academically, professionally, and personally. Looking back, I realize that this portion of…
Two Perspectives Under the Same Mission: Civic Anchoring!
Today, we spoke with two extremely helpful figures in Pittsburgh’s civic anchoring positions. Specifically, the Riverhounds Director of Promotions and Entertainment, Kris Brown, and Director of Business Development in Allegheny County, Elissa DiNello. Both speakers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with drafting our plans for Carrigart! Kris Brown (not to be confused with pop star…
So, how’d I do?
My last week at my internship passed in a blur. I got to hang out with my coworkers a fair amount in and out of the workplace. I even got to go to an anime convention with one of them, which was a lot of fun! We were just intending to check it out a…
