A Look Back
Partaking in the University of Pittsburgh’s Summer 2022 International Internship Program has been and honor and a privilege I will remember for the rest of my life, and am so grateful to have been allowed such an opportunity. For 8 weeks I was a marketing intern for Intrepid Spirits, a spirits company that manages many…
Farewell, Dublin!
My last week in Dublin has brought many different waves of emotions. Part of me is thrilled to be reunited with family and a sense of general familiarity, but the rest of me will miss everything that living in Dublin has blessed me with. This final week my friends and I took the time to…

Talking With Your Hands
Reflecting on Communication Differences When I first was researching study abroad programs, I thought eight weeks was a lengthy timeframe, but I underestimated how quickly the time would fly by.

These last five weeks have been filled with unforgettable memories, awe inspiring views, and great friends—I couldn’t be more grateful for all of it. Since we’re reaching the end I’m trying to make sure I’ve hit as many famous Dublin spots as…
A Little Bit of Home
Throughout my internship at the Restaurants Association of Ireland I’ve mostly been using the customer relationship management platform Salesforce and Microsoft Excel.
