Reviews

Programs Research Intern

June 2019 - August 2019 San Francisco, CA
“I thoroughly enjoyed being able to research current and relevant issues while preparing briefing reports for the program moderators. Doing so gave me the opportunity to gain knowledge of hot topics in global politics that I otherwise wouldn't have a very comprehensive understanding of solely based on my studies at USF in the International Studies major where you must narrow your field of study (understandably) by selecting a region and concentration. ”
