I was exposed to an ambassador visit, traveled to an important youth summit, and even allowed to help out with larger projects such as the U.S.-China Hong Kong Forum.

Visiting China with CUSEF was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that sparked my interest in bridging the U.S.-China relationship through my future career.

What I really enjoyed was everyone’s point of views were so specific and so different from the focus that I have. It taught me that there’s so much more to learn. I gained new friends, new colleagues, and people that I’m very excited to watch and cheer on as their careers flourish.
