POSTCARD FROM TANZANIA: Lauren Schefsky

Lauren Schefsky

Lauren is a senior majoring in International Relations & Diplomacy, with a second major in German.  

“I am currently interning at the US Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where I work with the Public Affairs Section. There is never a dull moment here at the Embassy. I have drafted speeches and letters for the Chief of Mission, presented to student groups on the college application process in the U.S., visited schools in rural areas to monitor after school English programs and created videos for the Embassy's social media pages. I have also had the chance to travel within Tanzania on multiple occasions - before my internship is over, I will have travelled to Mbeya, Zanzibar, and Moshi. I'm thrilled to have the chance to apply my knowledge of diplomacy to help promote and strengthen the U.S.-Tanzania bilateral relationship."
