Post Dublin – My Recap

I have now been back home in the United States for two weeks, and if I were to say that I did not miss Ireland a little bit, I would be lying. It is truly hard to express in words how great an experience I had while abroad, and the number of opportunities that I…

Week 8 – Last Week in Dublin

First off, I would like to start by apologizing for the extremely late publication of this blog post. I thought I had completed all of my blogs except for my last blog, but I was mistaken. Along with this, I also answered the week 8 question on my week 7 blog, so that I will…

Do it Scared

Since returning home from Dublin, the biggest emotion I’ve felt is gratitude. As I was at the airport with my friend Shwetha, I noticed that she wasn’t upset, but was rather hopeful and in awe of the experience we had.

The city itself is…

Dublin Week 7 + Weekend in Barcelona

Week 7 was a slower week in the office at Casey Kennedy and my workload was a little less than usual. A decent amount of my co-workers had fallen ill so a lot of the days it was just 3 or 5 people in the office than the usual 8. Monday I was on appointments…

Week 6 – Leadership Skills and Style

Before this internship experience, I would not have really considered myself a leader. I have had to work on group projects before at school, but I usually stuck to doing the work I was assigned with rather than taking the lead. However, during my time as an intern abroad at the Irish Museum of Modern…
