"I hope to build upon my foreign affairs knowledge and skillset at MASIA, as this will assist me in my future work as a diplomat. I also want to achieve a high proficiency level in Mandarin and begin studying Korean, as I know this will allow me to thrive in those regions and engage in dialogue with the local populations. My long-term goal is to one day serve as an ambassador, and I hope to form close relationships with my Georgetown professors and fellow students who can assist and push me towards my goal."
