Since returning home from Dublin, the biggest emotion I’ve felt is gratitude. As I was at the airport with my friend Shwetha, I noticed that she wasn’t upset, but was rather hopeful and in awe of the experience we had. As she repeatedly said, “Oh, look at the places we’ve been”, I felt myself inching…

Post – Trip
My experience this summer was amazing, I can’t believe it’s already over – it definitely went by very fast. Dublin, Ireland, now holds a very special place in my heart as it’s where I decided to start my study abroad adventure, and where I decided to continue traveling around the world. The city itself is…
Reflection of Ireland and IIP
It was one of my best experiences of college to spend the last two months in Dublin. Being a Financial Services Intern at Casey Kennedy has been amazing I learned so much working on Financial reports, invoices, going on appointments, and communicating with other co-workers. I honestly did not want to work at a smaller…
The Finale Week 8
Week 8 wow I can’t believe this is my final week here in Dublin. I have learned so much and have had such a great time while being here. This was a little bit of a slow week again in the office. A lot of people in Ireland and Europe in general go for their…
Dublin Week 7 + Weekend in Barcelona
Week 7 was a slower week in the office at Casey Kennedy and my workload was a little less than usual. A decent amount of my co-workers had fallen ill so a lot of the days it was just 3 or 5 people in the office than the usual 8. Monday I was on appointments…

I have had to work on group projects before at school, but I usually stuck to doing the work I was assigned with rather than taking the lead. However, during my time as an intern abroad at the Irish Museum of Modern…
8/2 | Home at Last?
While it was a whirlwind, I found my time in Ireland to be enriching beyond expectation. Working on so many projects was challenging, but insanely rewarding. My internship consisted of so many different tasks, yet all of them worked towards conservation and restoration of the marine habitat. In site visits, I learned to apply my…
Reflecting from Pittsburgh
I have been back in Pittsburgh for two weeks now, and I can’t stop thinking about Dublin! I love being back home, back to my routine, and with all of my friends here, but there is so much I miss from my time abroad. Having the opportunity to study abroad for 8 weeks was a…
Eric Barbrack: Post-Trip Conclusion Prompt
My trip to Dublin is something that I will not soon forget. I went into Ireland not ever really working in the professional world, much less thinking about any kind of leadership role. I was new to the professional tone people communicate with at work, new to understanding some of the Irish accent, and new…
