Intern Abroad in Dublin with The Learning Abroad Co.

My time working with Romina and the Rome Consensus team was amazing. Humanitarian drug policy, and the world of drugs in general, was something that I had little to no knowledge on prior to this internship. However, after working with them over the last several months, I have learned so much. Knowledge and skills included. Romina was an amazing mentor! She was attentive, answered any questions that I may have had, and although our time zones were very different, she was always willing to work with me and make sure I had the tools and information that I needed to complete my tasks. My major is in Global Communication, and dealing with what I learned to be such a globally connected issue was very eye opening. Although I worked virtually the entire time, I was still able to meet and connect with people all around the world as we came together on this work. I recommend this program to people who are looking to expand their knowledge on humanitarian work and NGO's, as well as those looking to expand their international social media skills, and increase their global network / communication capabilities. I learned so much about myself throughout the entire process as well, I had such a great time with this team, and I am very grateful for this opportunity!
