“At Georgetown, I seek to gain a comprehensive understanding of East Asia. As a MASIA student, I look forward to growing my understanding of the political economy, strengthening my research abilities, and understanding regional dynamics and issues that will enable me to contribute to national security policy across the Asia-Pacific.
