As we were approaching the midway point of my research abroad, I thought I would do a little day in my life break down! I usually start the day early and prepare myself breakfast in my apartment kitchen and then go to the on-campus gym. Sometimes I do a bit of work on campus beforeContinue reading “Dublin Diaries: Day in my Life”

Solidarity in Serrinha
Solidarity in my community shines through during tough times. During COVID-19, we came together to prepare and distribute “cestas básicas” (basic food baskets) to help lower-income families. This ensured everyone had access to essential items despite the pandemic’s challenges. We also face issues like wildfires, and because it’s hard for fire trucks to reach ourContinue reading “Solidarity in Serrinha”
Arrival in Brazil!
I arrived in Brazil this week and got to see some of my family that lives here, which has been an amazing experience! We started off my trip to Brazil by celebrating a Festa Junina (which is a June Festival) that celebrates caipira culture and honors Saint John. Its a festival full of traditional BrazilianContinue reading “Arrival in Brazil!”
Transitions and perspective changes
As my internship has progressed, I have definitely seen my transition shift from uncertainty to confidence. I feel as if I am finally in the swing of things, and I believe that our semi-weekly meetings have encouraged me to further understand the intricacies of the behind-the-scenes of nonprofit organizations. My team and I have excellentContinue reading “Transitions and perspective changes”
The Start
Starting at the office was so much more seemless than I had been expecting. Since I am working for the State Attorney’s Office, I had to get finger printing done and sign a lot of paperwork, but luckily I did this before my first day. When I first got there, I met with a reallyContinue reading “The Start”
Teaching English in Nepal!
I arrived in Kathmandu Nepal about a week ago! Since then there have been so many new experiences. At first, all of the differences seemed very overwhelming, but day by day I began to get used to them. One of the first things I noticed is how nice and friendly people are. From the peopleContinue reading “Teaching English in Nepal!”

I’ve had early mornings of 7am “Welcome” presentations, 11am student small group sessions, and many late “Noles at Night” events with the students.

Embracing Early Mornings: A Productive Internship Routine
My current routine starts with early mornings, allowing plenty of time for personal activities later in the day. I wake up around 5:45 a.m. to prepare for my internship, arriving at 6:30 a.m. sharp. Once there, I collaborate with my supervisor to tackle the day’s tasks. We work diligently to complete a checklist that coversContinue reading “Embracing Early Mornings: A Productive Internship Routine”
A Day in the Life
Hello Again My everyday routine here is quite nice. Since I’m at home for the summer working for the global cause of hunger, i’m able to wake up to leave before 12:30 for my dry goods sorting shift at Second Harvest, which starts at 1:00. If I’m meeting with a coordinator or director, those areContinue reading “A Day in the Life”
Day In The Life at Camp as a Camp Operations Assistant!
A day in the life at camp is a day filled with safety, respect, and love. My job role is a lot different than a traditional camp counselor in that I get to work with the camp directors as well as with the campers. Each week I oversee sections of camper arrival day and manageContinue reading “Day In The Life at Camp as a Camp Operations Assistant!”
