Kaylah EDWARDS

Attending an undergraduate institution that encouraged the concept of “Global Learning” has
significantly helped shape my interest in the field of Foreign Service and my current Masters program in International Governance and Diplomacy. From my first-year going abroad to Bolivia, to this past half-year (and counting) living in France, I have experienced living and learning in different communities, and the importance of bridging the gaps between countries and cultures. The aforementioned interests and experiences have stimulated my desire to work in public or political diplomacy, and explore the opportunities available within this field overall. Outside of these professional interests, I have also developed other skills with video editing and e-commerce site management which I have been able to employ in diverse contexts.
