"Studying International Relations at Webster Graduate School provided me with an in-depth background in world affairs and important issues throughout worldwide regions, also allowing me to focus in particular areas of interest. In addition, it opened up many opportunities in career options, as I obtained an internship in a non-profit organization, British American Security Information Council, which led to valuable work experience."
