I have officially made it back to the United States! It has been a whirlwind summer with the good, the bad, and everything in between. Being back in the US has been both nice and a strange. For starters, I still have not adjusted to the timezone, so I find myself still waking up super…

I have officially finished my internship at Ashoka! It was bittersweet leaving the office as I was excited to go home and see my family, but also sad to leave my routine in Prague. My internship was very unique in that it wasn’t a typical corporate environment. Every day was something new, and I was…

Regarding tasks, it was a lighter week as my supervisor took time to get me oriented with a new email and access to all their documents and spreadsheets. I was placed on a team…
