🌟 Introducing our first intern, Moorea Bell! 🌟 Meet Moorea! She’s a recent Middlebury College grad with a major in Chinese Studies and a minor in Spanish Studies. Hailing from Washington, D.C., Moorea studied abroad in Taiwan and just finished her research on language policy for ethnic minority groups in China and the impacts of Chinese investments in Nigeria—ask her about her findings! When she’s not immersed in international relations, Moorea is mastering new languages or hitting the weights at her local gym. 🏋️♀️📚 Look out for her on our Slack channels, social media, and at upcoming events. Let’s give her a warm welcome to our community! https://lnkd.in/gTCEbjwb Moorea’s internship wouldn’t be possible without The Helen Gurley Brown BOLD Fellowship dedicated to empowering young women to become leaders in their fields. #WelcomeMoorea #NABEAIntern
