I have always been interested in why groups, societies, and nations do what they do. However, in my studies I've learned that not one single discipline holds all the answers. Global issues are extremely complex and must be looked at from multiple angles. This is why I chose the MIAGE program. MIAGE has allowed me to explore issues through the eyes of a political scientist, economist, historian, anthropologist, and lawyer. As I pursue a counter-terrorism career with the US State Department, I know this broad and very hands-on training will help me contribute to the development of solutions for the world's most difficult challenges. I have enjoyed my time in the program and am excited to begin the next chapter in my career.
