“My international studies major inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and explore different opportunities. Without the opportunities to learn about the world and travel through my experience with IS, I wouldn't have been inspired to go to London and get my master's in social policy, find my passion for education policy, and eventually land in DC working at a nonprofit in education policy and advocacy.”
