Hey hey! I know this is a tad late but I still wanted to blog about this so here we go…

I’m Aidan Green and I’m a Public Relations major with a minor in com studies. I use they/them pronouns and identify as nonbinary – really hoping everyone gets on board with my pronouns and the frequent misgendering can be avoided. But alas we shall see. Fingers crossed on that one.

What I’m most excited for is going out to local markets and shops and pubs and getting to know some of the locals! I’m also really looking forward to seeing how different things are in Ireland compared to back home. Even just small differences like how they drive on the other side of the road or how they serve a cocktail fascinates me. Oh and one thing I’m specifically looking forward to is our visit to Jameson!!

In pertinence to our coursework I’m curious to learn all about their sustainability practices as well as discussing with real world execs how CSR is part of their organizations at a foundational level. Hopefully I can take what I learn in Dublin back home and implement such practices and ideas in my professional career moving forward.

Also, to be frank, I’m just happy to not be in the US with everything that’s happening both socially and economically.

When I’m not in class I enjoy bed rotting, watching an absurd amount of TV and Movies, playing games on my switch, and I’ve started getting back into reading. Love me a sitcom like New Girl, Parks and Rec, Superstore, and with movies I tend to go for either action or a cute little romcom. Side note – I can also play the violin and the saxophone (alto + tenor) and generally love music. Not the biggest hobby gal so that’s all I got on that one.
