"After serving as a China beat reporter, I developed very niche expertise about specific aspects of Asian security issues. What I am missing is the "big picture" knowledge about the fundamentals of Asian security issues. I hope to attend Georgetown so that I can really get that "big picture" understanding of Asian and Chinese security issues, which I believe will help me become a more nuanced analyst and researcher in the long run."
