UBC Arts Summer Co-Op Student, Global Affairs Canada
“I am learning about how the Canadian government monitors the performance of its embassies abroad to not only provide feedback to the domestic departments who decided policy, but also to those embassies to ensure they can perform to the best of their abilities. The MPPGA program provides its graduates with a great balance of hands-on experience with the quantitative tools to do the work and the qualitative theory to ensure that the data’s context is always respected. Much of my work involves walking the fine line of translating qualitative feedback into a quantitative format.
Knowing that the project I am working on really does make a difference to all those employed at Canadian embassies abroad is quite exciting. Their hands-on work has significant value and it has been very meaningful to be part of the process of translating that feedback into reports that will influence policy decisions.
As a global citizen, I think that acknowledging the complexity of working with people living in multicultural and diverse settings is really important.”
