I want to shout out the U.S. Foreign Service Internship Program coordinating team - their guidance is invaluable, and I know I'm not the only intern inspired by their work! Marti Estell in particular is a superstar, providing incredible insight and constant support. Each and every staff member who contributes to that program deserves all the flowers they can carry.
