Looking Back on My Time in Prague

Now that my time in Prague has come to an end, it is honestly hard to put into words how grateful I am for this experience. Going into the program, I knew I would learn a lot, but I don’t think I realized just how much I would grow both personally and professionally. Living and…

The Road to Success

During my internship with Confirmo in Prague, I noticed that success was less about being the loudest person in the room and more about being someone others could rely on. People valued showing up on time, doing quality work, and working well with the rest of the team. Everyone seemed to take pride in what…

Growing Through Experience

Throughout my internship at Confirmo, I have strengthened several skills that I know will benefit me in my professional, and personal life. The skills I believe I have improved on the most are communication, adaptability, and time management. Working in a professional environment has allowed me to strengthen my ability to collaborate with my coworkers,…

¡Semana 2!

My days here in Madrid have been filled with lots of exploring.

Reflecting on My Summer in Dublin

Because my internship in Dublin just finished last week, I find myself reflecting on an incredible journey of personal, academic, and professional growth. This experience, made possible by the generosity of my scholarship donors, has been nothing short of transformative. As I prepare to enter my senior year at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in…

Adios Madrid

The past 8 weeks in Madrid have been an incredible experience and one I am super thankful for. Coming here was both an exciting and nervous time, but I can positively say that this experience has been wonderful and one of a kind. Over these past eight weeks I think I have seen and experienced…

Family in Praha!

Ahoj everyone! This past week was kind of my last full week at work as my supervisor, Dominika, is going on vacation in Greece (super casually and cool) for the next two weeks. It also felt like my last week because EUSA (the Prague internship placement team) hosted a farewell boat cruise and dinner on…
