Chayes Fellow Josephine Lee ’15, on working with the Fundación Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, Argentina

“I am enjoying my time working and living abroad. The coffee (cortado is my favorite) is wonderful and, thankfully, the winter is not too cold. I was hoping to travel to El Calafate on a long weekend, but the plane tickets are so expensive, so I’m planning a trip to Mendoza (wine country!) instead.
 
The work experience has been interesting and I’ve been learning a lot about environmental policy in South America. Even though I’ve been doing more research than I was expecting, I am learning through the process and even improving my Spanish (slowly).”

Josie is one of 23 HLS students working this summer in 18 countries under the auspices of the Chayes International Public Service Fellowship. Please visit our Chayes Fellowship page to learn more!
