For my Global Learning Capstone, I completed an internship at the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Western Hemisphere, Office of Economic Policy and Summit Coordination in Washington, D.C. During my time at the State Department, I participated in meetings with senior-level U.S. Government and foreign government officials. Drafted, edited, and contributed to cables, reports, communications, talking points, and other materials used by policymakers in furthering U.S. foreign policy objectives.  I supported events, including international and/or multilateral meetings and conferences. And engaged directly with U.S. audiences in helping to explain the work of the Department of State or foreign audiences in helping to promote U.S. foreign policy and improve understanding of U.S. culture and society.
