Introducing One of Amnesty International’s Fall Interns

Yesterday I received the news that I will be interning at Amnesty International’s media relations unit during the fall semester. To say that I am excited is a huge understatement; I’m beyond stoked. I’ve dreamed of working at Amnesty International since I was a little kid and my mother shared stories about events such as Tiananmen. The very idea that I’ll now be interning in Amnesty International’s DC office is one that I find incredibly hard to wrap my head around. The 14-year-old me who decided on the topic of human rights in China for a class project wouldn’t have believed that I’d be interning there seven years later, either.

I’ll be starting in exactly two weeks. I’ll have an orientation to attend, and then I’ll start my position as an intern in the media relations unit. I can’t wait!!
