Building your career at NYU Prague

I came to Prague knowing absolutely nothing about the Czech Republic, short of what I was taught during the study abroad orientation held in November in Kimmel. It was the best decision I could’ve made for my sophomore spring. Not only did I meet new people and make new friends, but I also rekindled old friendships and became immersed in a culture I would otherwise not have experienced. I learned some Czech and sampled other parts of Europe. I also started to build my career and explore different career paths through an internship.

I’m currently an intern at CEE Bankwatch Network, an NGO that operates in Central Eastern Europe, monitoring energy projects in the area, their financiers, and their ecological impacts. Working at CEE Bankwatch as a Research and Campaigns Intern broadened my horizons. I’ve worked in government before– in fact, I spent my sophomore fall interning at the New York City Department of Buildings. I’ve interned at my father’s startup. I’ve worked as a researcher for an website. I even have a summer job as a lifeguard. But never have I experienced working for an NGO. I’m glad CEE Bankwatch opened up this pathway.

I found out about CEE Bankwatch through NYU, as it was listed as a non-credit internship. A week later, I found myself interviewing for the position. In February, I heard back and was asked when I could start. It’s a great environment to work in. The office is unassuming, on the third floor of a building in Prague 9, a 30 minute tram ride from where I live in Prague 2. It’s filled with plants and quite cozy. The furniture is all wooden, and there are about 15 employees sitting at their desks. It’s quite casual, people are super friendly, it’s international, and everyone wears jeans. I love it.
