Since coming to Washington, I've had the opportunity to attend numerous hearings both on and off the hill, as well as hear experts speak in class and our weekly seminars. Not only have I learned about the U.S.-China relationship (the focus of our TWC program), cyber security and technology policy (my program's focus at CSIS), but I also better understand our political process in general. This experience will help me be an engaged citizen, no matter where my career takes me.
