Week 8 – Global Competency and Expectations
Working at Carvago has shown me that being successful at work can mean different things depending on the environment you’re in. While there are universal traits like being reliable, taking initiative, or delivering results, how those qualities are expressed and valued can vary quite a bit between the Czech Republic and in the U.S. In…
Week 7 – Communication Differences
One of the most interesting things I’ve been reflecting on this week is how communication styles vary depending on culture. Before coming to Prague, I hadn’t really thought about the idea of low-context vs. high-context communication, but now I see those differences almost daily. Coming from the U.S., which is generally considered a low-context culture…
Week 6 – Leadership Skills and Style
Before starting this internship abroad, I wouldn’t have described myself as someone with a strong leadership style. I saw myself more as a collaborator. Someone who contributes, listens, and helps move things forward, but not necessarily the one making final calls or directing a group. I think part of that came from not always feeling…
Week 5 – Critical Reflection on Skills and Competencies
This week, I’ve been reflecting a lot on how much I’ve grown both in terms of technical skills and the softer, more human side of working in a new environment. Interning at Carvago has been a great experience so far, especially because it gives me the chance to not only deepen my understanding of AI…

Living and working in Prague for the past few weeks has shown me just how important it is to be flexible and open-minded when adjusting to a new environment….
Week 3 – Prague
One of the biggest challenges I’ve noticed during my internship at Carvago is learning how to work through uncertainty. I’m currently working on projects involving artificial intelligence (AI), and if there’s one thing I’ve realized, it’s that the field is constantly changing. New tools, methods, and research come out all the time, which can make…
Week 2 – Prague
At my internship at Carvago, I work on really cool projects using AI (artificial intelligence). One of my main jobs is to build AI agents that can help the company with different tasks, like scoring used car listings. These projects are big and my boss gives me a deadline to finish each section by. So,…
Week 1 – Prague, Czech Republic
My first week in Prague has been eventful, and one of the highlights was visiting Prague Castle with some friends I met during orientation week. After a guided walking tour around the city, we decided to continue exploring and made our way up to the castle. The views from the top were breathtaking and overlooked…
