As I enter my senior year of college and take one step closer towards graduation, I am excited to eventually implement all of the skills I have learned in my various internship and employment opportunities in my future career. These experiences have had an extremely valuable impact on the goals that I have set for myself once I graduate.

The different opportunities I have had, have been a critical part my own development as a person. I have been able to work in diverse settings that have shaped me to become more affluent with cultural competencies and led me to gain strong professional communication and administrative skills. Additionally, I have worked in environments where relying on my team members was imperative and environments that required me to take initiative as a self-starter. Both of these situations have allowed me to be an effective member of any kind of team dynamic while also being extremely adaptable.

I am thankful for all of the professional opportunities that I have had during my undergraduate career. Because of these experiences, I have been able to gain a deeper insight on various sectors and topics, such as policy making and international relations education, and plan to use my new found knowledge in my future career.
