Intern Abroad HQ

What I enjoyed most about this internship is the opportunity to contribute to work that has a clear and meaningful social impact. This made the work feel purposeful rather than purely task-driven. I especially valued the collaborative discussions with my supervisor. Knowing that the materials we create could directly support and empower women in difficult situations made the experience particularly rewarding. This internship strengthened my empathy and cultural awareness. I became more aware of how social, cultural, and economic factors influence personal decision-making, especially regarding sensitive topics like marriage and financial independence. This helped me grow in emotional intelligence and adaptability. Professionally, I gained experience in program design and curriculum brainstorming, improved my ability to communicate clearly in a remote environment, and developed stronger critical thinking skills when tailoring ideas to specific communities. I am also learning the importance of patience and long-term thinking in nonprofit and educational work, where impact is not always immediate but requires strategic planning and collaboration.

The thing I enjoyed the most is that I met some amazing people, even though it was virtual. I made new friends, gained connections, was able to connect and work with real clients, and work under supervision. This will contribute to my future as a psychotherapist, and help me with my skills when working with clients in person.

I very much enjoyed the opportunity to engage in substantive legal work such as legal research and drafting. I learned to engage in real legal work, work under a supervisor (law firm partner), manage tasks in a timely and efficient manner, while at the same time studying Spanish law and the Spanish language. I believe this experience will be invaluable toward my personal and professional development. The guidance was very clear and helpful!
