I chose Pace because when I visited, I immediately fell in love with the New York City campus, which is so close to many different opportunities. I recently completed an internship at the United Nations, working with the Control Arms Coalition, an international alliance of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which aims to end the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons. I also participated in the 2018 National Model United Nations (NMUN) conference as a head delegate, which involved supporting my fellow classmates with their position papers and the rules of the conference. It was so inspiring to see us develop into such a strong, award-winning team, which I credit to my Dyson education and the guidance of Professor Bolton and other head delegates. After graduation, I would love to work for another NGO focused on disarmament before attending graduate school, and then, either return to the UN or perhaps pursue a career at the White House!
