"Interning with the State Department, especially at a U.S. Embassy overseas, provided me with a front row seat to foreign policy in action and hands-on experience implementing key priorities. The high quality speakers, simulations, courses, and other programming hosted by the WDC and its staff set me up for a successful summer, and I look forward to leveraging these collective experiences in the Foreign Service."

Internship at the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs
"The significant time I completed in terms of researching available information on corruption, financial crimes, organized crime, cybersecurity, law enforcement, justice reform, trafficking, counter narcotics, and more, taught me an incredible amount on major issues facing institutions looking to counter these practices, and recommendations on best practices to use."
