Meeting and observing other passionate expats make a positive difference in the lives of so many. Considering how fun and supportive the expat community was helpful in seasons of doubt. It was equally significant meeting and befriending nationals that welcomed me and took the time to teach me about their cultures and the true meaning of resilience, love, and forgiveness.
I also appreciated the diverse workforce and how they apply global and intercultural theories when working to combat international issues. Many of the subject-matter experts the UN employs are passionate, professional, and respect diversity. They are resourceful, diplomatic, and have excellent interpersonal skills to work well with external partners so that vulnerable populations get the help they need without judgment.
The UN helped me to become intimate with the world and allowed me to learn new skills and work in diverse fields. I will always be grateful to the UN and UN leadership for fulfilling my vocation.
The world is complex and needs passionate and experienced international civil servants. The UN and I still have time to get reacquainted!
