Before my time at Confirmo, I would have described my leadership style as collaborative, dependable, and supportive. I have always believed that good leaders set an example by being dependable, a clear communicator, and creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable contributing. While I enjoyed working with others and taking on responsibility, I often preferred…

Comfortability and New Environments
This week in Prague felt like I was back at home. Although over 4,000 miles away from my actual home in Pittsburgh, the consecutive weekends travelling and then getting right back to work in Prague was a little bit much the past few weeks. Spending my whole week in Prague was a much-needed breather. I…
My Report, Your Decisions
What a week to be watching the World Cup! I caught Spain vs Belgium at an Irish pub here in Prague on Friday and barely sat down for the whole game. The place was packed and loud, and it came down to the wire. It was tied 1-1 late until Merino came off the bench…
A Very European 4th of July
Luckily enough, Monday was the Czech holiday Jan Hus Day so I had a nice long weekend for the Fourth of July. While I didn’t have a hot dog and didn’t get to see any fire works, it was still a fun weekend in Prague. Not traveling this weekend allowed me to explore more of…
Growing Through Experience

The skills I believe I have improved on the most are communication, adaptability, and time management. Working in a professional environment has allowed me to strengthen my ability to collaborate with my coworkers,…

Instead, I’ve been pouring my energy into seeing as much as possible before I pack up and leave Prague. This week, that meant a trip to Malta, and honestly? It might be my favorite…
July 4th in Split!
This week was a dream come true. July 6th is a national holiday, and so myself and a large group of friends booked a trip to Split, which was easily one of the top places I wanted to see while abroad. I got to leave work mid-day Friday and catch my flight at 4:50 and eventually…
Waves of Reflection
Being my own advocate. Since my first day at my internship, for example, when I had my induction meeting at Carvago, after my bosses explained how the data team works and what I would be working on during my time there, I knew I would have to speak up for myself. After doing plenty of…
Czeching Out My Skills
Over the July 4th weekend, friends from the Berlin program came to visit. I spent the weekend showing them the best spots around Prague. We went out at night together, tried local food, and I got to teach them about the city and the culture along the way. Hosting them turned into a small test…
