Overall Dub lin

Well, here it is, my last assignment to submit for this program! How exciting! Well, other than my professional evaluation that is the responsibility of my supervisor which I am not entirely certain is getting completed on time (aka by today). Now I get to focus on what’s to come on August 26th, the first…

Irish Goodbying

Here I am on this fine Monday night writing what I thought was my final assignment for this course. I am back home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, back in the United States. It really is a crazy thing. I remember first seeing the notification pop up on my phone in the morning from Katya Slater, my…

Reflecting on Communication + Scotland

This past week was definitely monumental. I can not believe it was our second to last week here in Dublin before going back to America. We have been making the most of it for sure – going out every day of the week together to experience as much as possible. This past weekend was exceptional….

Leadership and Dun Laoghaire

It’s week six and this past week has been a long one. For the majority of my past week, I have been gathering information and ideas for the owner of my company, Ronan, who has a very serious and professional determination for his window displays. The majority of my daily work comes from a list…

Adapting and Amsterdam!

This past week was one of my favorites! Throughout the work week, I got closer with my team at my company through our sports bettings on the soccer games. My teams are Switzerland and Serbia which is not too promising but it is still a fun time and everyone is competitive enough, that’s for sure….

Navigating What’s Noteworthy

Onto week four of this experience and it continues to get even better and better every week. This past week my dad, younger sister, and older brother were in town visiting me for the week which was such a special experience! I am so glad they got to get a taste of where I am…

Cliffs of Moher & More

I have been in Dublin, Ireland now for two full weeks and the time is flying by. I feel like it was just yesterday I landed here and was on my way to the residence hall for the first time. Previously, EUSA, our internship program, brought us on a tour to Kilkenny where we saw…

My Ireland Industry

During my time abroad in Ireland, I will be primarily working in the real estate industry at Move Home Real Estate Agents in Drumcondra. I also expressed a heavy emphasis and interest in the finance operations portion of the company and am looking forward to learning about both sides of this particular company. During my…
