"Given my life-long fascination with Asian culture, birthed through books and films, it is perhaps not surprising that as a young adult I find myself drawn to Hawaii and French Polynesia; the cultures are such a remarkable and contrasting blend of Asia and the U.S.A. (East and West). I have studied in Honolulu, Hawaii for the past 3 years for my undergraduate degree working towards a BA in Political Science, and for one year in Tahiti, French Polynesia for a BA in French. Through my experience at Georgetown, I seek experiences that would allow me to practice my passion for languages and my interest in international affairs."
