International Economics Student Intern
"I am working as a commercial assistant to three trade specialists and one foreign commercial service officer. I’m busy researching three different industries, generating market reports and presentations, and harvesting information from former and present clients that is intended to prove our effectiveness. I’ve made friends with the other interns and weekend trips are already in the works for me to get to know their respective parts of Mexico. I live with three wonderful people (two Peruvians and a Costa Rican) in an incredibly fun part of the city (La Condesa)."
