"My time as a Boren Fellow at Thammasat University in Bangkok was nothing short of transformative. It provided me with the unique opportunity to immerse myself in Thai language and culture, significantly enhancing my regional expertise. This foundation was pivotal in securing positions with the U.S. Department of State and FEMA's International Affairs Division, where I applied my knowledge to support critical operations. The Boren Fellowship is an important thread that has woven together my professional achievements, meaningful connections, and the future aspirations I now pursue."
