Jasmine Mitchell (MASIA’25) reflects on her time in Georgetown’s Master of Arts in Asian Studies program—from meeting the president of Indonesia to taking a class on Congress and Asia policy. A summer fellowship at the U.S. State Department’s East Asia and Pacific Affairs Bureau turned into a job offer, and as a Thomas R. Pickering Fellow, Jasmine is preparing to join the U.S. Foreign Service after graduation.

“I’m really looking forward to not only serving my country but also being a representative for my country abroad in embassies and consulates,” she says.
