Summer 2013
Being in DC for the summer has truly opened my eyes to a wide range of possibilities and opportunities. At BU, my major is Business Administration with concentrations in Finance and Marketing. However, being in such a policy-minded environment, attending think tank events, and reading up on global affairs has made me realize the strong passion I have for foreign policy. Specifically, I am very interested in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. In DC, I have had the opportunity to attend amazing events at the Middle East Institute, Capitol Hill, and the Brookings Institution that have fueled these interests. I have also been learning as much as possible about the countries in these regions and the pitfalls or strides they are currently facing.
