It has been about a week and a half since I returned to the U.S, and after a packed two months abroad, it’s been nice to sit back, rest, and reflect on my time in Dublin. This summer I interned at an Irish-owned beauty and cosmetics company called Cocoa Brown. I had held an internship…

Goodbye (for now), Dublin
Hola from Barcelona! My time in Dublin has come to a close and it’s a bittersweet feeling. In some ways, I am excited to return to the comfort and familiarity of the U.S, but on the other hand, I will greatly miss Ireland and the amazing people I have met here. I feel though that…

My schedule is a mix of in-office and remote work: I’m at the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and work from home on Monday and Friday. My…
Getting down to business in Dublin
My first week in Dublin has been packed with adventure and excitement! After a sleepless red-eye flight, stepping outside into the Ireland air had never felt better. I was in awe of how lush and green everything was. Our living accommodation is located at University College Dublin, which is about 30-40 minutes from the city…
