“I started off studying European politics while in college and ended up studying abroad in Croatia and Denmark. While I was in Europe, all everyone could talk about was the "pivot to Asia," so when I got back to the United States, I ended up taking a class on U.S.-China relations and completely switched my concentration. I would like to study more economics and statistics classes, take more classes on Chinese domestic politics, and gain a basic understanding of military issues. Long term, I would like to work for the U.S. government, working on China issues at Treasury, DoD, or State.”
