How will your experience benefit you in the future? How might it affect your future career or studies?
The WiW program has definitely made me more proactive towards job searching. Now I am aware and skilled to make the best use of all campus career resources. Connecting with Badger alum has been the most beneficial resource. Working at Quinella Global has been exciting, where I have gotten the opportunity to work on U.S trade and foreign policy research.
What is the moment you are most proud of?
Perhaps the moment I received an email knowing that an alum has reached out personally to connect with me. It felt great to realize I made an impactful impression on someone who interviewed me.

How were your program academics similar or different from taking classes at UW-Madison?
There was abundant similarity between school coursework and my internship project. Both required me to write policy briefs, blogs, and conduct research. The processes were very similar, the difference was that the writing I did for my internship would get published.
