Throughout my stay in Prague and Krakow I was able to develop a variety of soft and hard skills that will continue to be utilized in my future endeavors. One of the soft skills I was able to develop more was communication. Being in a foreign country communication becomes more important and sometimes more difficult…

Living and learning: Prague and Krakow
Having the opportunity to live and learn in two amazing, unique cities has given me different perspectives on the information that was being taught. Living in Prague, we were located in a prime location within the city. It was amazing having the ability to walk everywhere. Living in a walkable city made navigation much easier,…
Prague and Krakow: Living and Learning
The program I had the opportunity to go on was located in 2 countries, so I had the privilege of living and learning in two different locations. For the entirety of the program we stayed in hotel rooms with one other roommate. Each hotel we stayed in had a different feel which was great to…
The Last Assignment

A Small Perspective on Small Business

Transitioning to a work environment that actually cares about employees, hasn’t prompted serious bodily harm, and isn’t destroying local economies as well as the environment is actually rather relieving. The most delightful part about my current internship is…
How I Learn Leadership
So, this post is supposed to be about my leadership experience before, during, and (because they want the program to look good) after the program. I want to give a real quick disclaimer: I don’t particularly like leading (mostly because I think that I function mostly as a kind of lone wolf), but I will…
