My time in Stockholm was just as impactful and exciting as I was expecting, while also bringing about a familiarity I wasn’t sure I would find. My first personal goal, and what I was hoping for when I pictured my time abroad, was to feel grounded and comfortable in a place so brand new and…

When thinking about success and professionalism in Stockholm, I often think of a conversation I had with my supervisor early on in my internship. He spent a lot of time explaining how innovation and creativity thrive in Sweden and within Swedish work culture. One of our first shifts was actually a delegation he hosted with…

I may have boasted about my new ability to complete work without too much feedback… but I have noticed myself running into the same problem when working remotely.
