School: University of California, Davis (Graduated - June, 2004)
Majors: Economics and International Relations
Hometown: Oakland, CA

In the past six months I have learned a lot working at the Sacramento USEAC. The experience has taught me many valuable things that I will be able to utilize as I enter the workforce this June. Some of my duties here included performing market research, speaking and meeting with clients and CEO’s of local businesses, participating in local seminars, conferences and workshops, maintaining relations with commercial officers in US offices abroad and training and managing new staff.

Taking part in this internship has increased my communication and writing skills as well as enhanced my ability to work with others as a team. The skills that I have learned while interning with the Sacramento USEAC will help me maintain a competitive edge in my career. Not only have I gained valuable knowledge and skills, but the experience has really increased my interest in working with international trade. I will walk out of here knowing more about which areas I would like to focus my career on. I greatly valued my time with the Sacramento USEAC and I know that if someone is interested in learning more about international business they would also quite enjoy their experience with the organization.
