\u201cI applied for everything: the Rangel, Pickering, Marshall, Gilman, Demers, 3 Fulbrights, and, NALCAP. I had a strong interest in International Relations and building cross cultural exchange, so Kathleen mentioned that I would be competitive for a number of the applications.\u201d
\n<\/blockquote><\/div><\/section>What is your major and when did you graduate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Political Science and Africana Studies, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you choose URI? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a commuter and transferred from CCRI. It was the most affordable option.<\/span><\/p>\n

What have you been up to since graduation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I currently work in higher Ed at Tufts University but plan on pursuing a career in the Foreign Service.<\/span><\/p>\n

How were you involved in life at URI? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I was very involved in student government.<\/span><\/p>\n

What awards did you apply for through ONFAO and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I applied for everything: the Rangel, Pickering, Marshall, Gilman, Demers, 3 Fulbrights, and, NALCAP. I had a strong interest in International Relations and building cross cultural exchange, so Kathleen mentioned that I would be competitive for a number of the applications.<\/p>\n

How did you hear about these opportunities with ONFAO?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kathleen [Maher] reached out to a number of students who should consider applying to the Fulbright Scholarship, and the rest is history!<\/span><\/p>\n

How did ONFAO support\/ equip you during the application process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[ONFAO] helped me revise applications [and provided] advice on what applications to apply to, and how to make them stronger. <\/span><\/p>\n

What did you gain from this experience? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I was able to learn Arabic remotely through a Gilman and Demers fellowship. Also, I explored Spain through the NALCAP program and I will be embarking on a Fulbright grant to the UK. Next, I hope to apply for a Rangel fellowship to join the FSO.<\/span><\/p>\n

What would you tell students thinking about applying with ONFAO to help them prepare? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if you aren\u2019t successful, applying for fellowships through ONFAO is super helpful to self reflect and understand your professional and personal goals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
