Can you tell me a bit about yourself and your work?

Thanks for having me. So, my name is Alicia and I live in DC. I’ve been here for about the past seven years. My current work, I work with an international exchange public diplomacy program that’s run through the State Department and I’m on the East Asia Pacific team. So, I work with students and scholars coming from the East Asia Pacific region to the United States for their programs. And before that, I was at the Smithsonian’s Asian Art Museum. So, I have a deep interest in Asia. Outside of work. I’m also currently a student at [Reformed Theological Seminary] in DC, and I’m active in my church here as well.
