A Busy Week in Berlin
Last weekend, I was able to spend more time exploring Berlin. On Friday night, I went to a club in Berlin with the other students doing internships here. I was skeptical about being out late, but when even my supervisor encouraged me to go along, I decided to join. It was a really fun experience,…
Finding Direction Without a GPS
One area where I experience uncertainty during my internship is when assignments are not clearly defined or when I am given limited information about what is expected. As an intern, I am still learning about the organization, its goals, and the specific responsibilities associated with my role. Because of this, there are times when I…
Castles, Communication, and Consulting
Starting off my third blog post, I had a very beautiful week in Berlin. I took lots of walks to beautiful places, including the East Side Gallery, many parks, and a handful of castles. My favorite was probably Schloss Britz, where I went yesterday afternoon. The castle was unfortunately closed for an event, but the…

Settling Into my First Full Week at HEYL
It feels unreal to think that this past week was my first full week at HEYL. It seems like I have been in Germany for months, yet somehow at the same time, I feel like I only arrived a few days ago. This week was so busy that I had to look back in my…
Week 3: From Kurfürstendamm to Möckernbrücke
As I finish up my third week in Berlin, with a successful solo travel weekend now under my belt, it is becoming even more surreal that I have the opportunity to spend my summer living and working abroad. Each week seems to go by faster than the last as I continue balancing my internship responsibilities…
Work and Leisure in Berlin
It’s my second week in Berlin and I have seen lots of wonderful new things, including the massive flea market on Boxhagener Platz, the beach at the lake, and lots of street art and fun cafes around Kreuzberg. I am continually impressed by the energy of the city: it has a tremendously “cool” feel, and…
