Why did you choose McCourt? I was looking for a complex academic challenge and hoped to learn from the most qualified professors and outstanding colleagues with significant professional experience worldwide; Georgetown had all of this and more.
What was the best part of your experience? Leading the Latin American Policy Association (LAPA), serving as Vice-President of the New Students Committee (NSC), and being an ambassador for Georgetown Conflict Transformation Lab (CTL) board, were extraordinarily honorable and gratifying collection of experiences.
