Going into this internship I assumed the skills I would gain would be mostly technical and that I would finish with a list of tools I could use and software I understood. That did happen, but the things I’ve noticed developing most aren’t just that. The most useful ones have come from the overlap between…

Life after South Korea

It’s Been Real Dublin
Dublin Diaries | The End An Amazing Ireland Summer And just like that, it is over.

Most of my leadership experience has come from being a Team Lead at my food service job back at home. Because my job can get very busy very quickly, especially during the lunch and dinner rushes, I am used…
