Inside the internship
Connect-123 introduced me to the best architecture firm EVER! My manager was extremely helpful, a mentor and a friend. I learned so much about architecture, about living and surviving on my own, and about myself.

This summer I completed an internship in Dublin in historic building conservation. Building conservation is not a very large field, but I couldn't have thought of a more perfect internship experience. My company was very friendly and taught me so much about the field.
