The Jamestown Foundation

Intern

January - March 2020 • Washington, DC

What I liked

The workload was steady and had an easy pace. The subject matter was interesting and overlapped with my classes.

What I wish was different

When COVID-19 became a big deal and Georgetown switched to online classes, I requested telework. Not only could my job be performed at home, it would be done better since the office computer they had me using was terrible. Jamestown insisted I continue to take public transportation into the city and work in the office, and would not even give an explanation for this requirement. I lost my job and any respect I had for the Jamestown Foundation.
