Well it is officially all over. The program in Dublin was a massive success. This last week was action packed. We were all just trying to enjoy our last few days together and in Europe. I also finished up my time in the Parliament. This was an enjoyable last week but I am also happy…

Conclusion Blog
It’s all over. The exploration of Europe, my internship, and my time at UCD have all ended. Things that haven’t ended however are the bonds I created in Dublin, the experience I have gained from working and living there, and the memories I have from living abroad. I have seen tremendous growth in myself across…
Homesick for Holiday: Madrid Looking Back
The Concluding Introduction After eight weeks in Europe, my journey is complete. Ten weeks in total, if you include the few days in France and the two in Dublin when my connecting flight was delayed. I’ve spent the majority of my summer out of my home country, and I feel the experience has aged me…
Communication (Reflective)
Doing this one ex post facto since I somehow completely forgot to write it while I was actually in Dublin. Not sure how that happened. My bad.

Soft And Hard Skills Inside And Outside The Workplace
Living and interning in Prague has been an enriching experience that has significantly contributed to my personal and professional growth. During my time here, I have developed several transferable or “soft” skills that are essential in any career. Additionally, my internship at Presto Ventures has provided me with a wealth of technical or “hard” skills…
Na shledanou, Praha!
I am now back home after an amazing summer, and it feels so weird to be in New York. I feel like I am noticing cultural differences now that I am home that I originally didn’t notice when I was in Prague. For example, life in America is extremely focused on convenience. We drive everyone…
Díky for the Memories 🥹
The adventure is over. My two months doing the IIP in Prague have come to an end and that this is the last blog post I’ll be writing for the summer. After spending an unforgettable summer in Europe, I’ve been back in California (still traveling around the state) for about a week and a half,…
