As my internship at Vencon Research draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on a journey that went far beyond the work itself. This experience has been a profound blend of professional growth, cultural immersion, and personal discovery—all set against the backdrop of an incredible city and an even more incredible continent. The last…

Hungary, Romania, & Slovakia Power Trip: Making the Most of My Final Weeks (Week 8)
This week at Vencon, I continued refining our Prospective Client Scoring Model while balancing smaller research requests from the senior team. The work has shifted from heavy research to fine-tuning: making sure the framework captures the right criteria, reflects market realities, and is easy to use across teams. Presenting these refinements means I’ve had to…
Bye Bye Berlin
As I sit in the airport on Saturday morning, preparing to fly home, I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that I’m leaving the city I’ve been calling home for the past two months. If I’m being honest, these two months have been a whirlwind, flying by far more quickly than I expected. I’ve…
Goodbye Berlin
My last week at Vireo is in the books! Before returning to the U.S. I met up with some of my family members in Budapest. My mom and grandmother were on a river cruise the last two weeks of my internship. They visited Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and lastly, Hungary! I was lucky enough to meet…

I continued the new assignment my boss had assigned to me, focusing on damage reports and tracking damages. I spent Monday – Wednesday indexing damages, and incident reports by the driver. This was…
Week 7 – A new project
The week started slow. I went into work Monday and had a fairly productive day. I was finally able to get some time with my boss. The meeting did not go how I had expected it to go. I decided that I had made enough progress on my current project and that I should pivot…
Post Trip
I have completed my internship with the Hertie School for fundamental rights in Berlin Germany. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to do an internship internationally. Over the past several weeks I have worked with all different kinds of people and teams. I now found myself reflecting on the skills that I have learned…
“goodbye… goodbye… aaaargh” Week 9 (Post-Trip)
I often find it difficult to put words to who I am. I’ve been on this earth for a mere twenty years and almost certainly have next to no understanding of who I am yet. Something that has definitely helped me try is my long-term life goal. Since high school, I’ve stacked all my chips…
