I do not think I could have asked for a better experience during my time as an intern at the Embassy of Romania in Washington, D.C. My internship lasted from September through December 2005 and I am only sad to have had to leave. I gained valuable experience that will help me in my future endeavors in the work place and I felt that I was given the opportunity to apply all of the knowledge that I have gained through my studies in college.

I learnt what it means to be part of a professional team, how important is to gain the trust of your colleagues and your superiors and how appreciated is to take initiative. (

The main focus of our team during my internship was the preparation of the recent visit of the Romanian President, Traian Basescu . I had the opportunity to work with the team that was responsible for the President's visit to Detroit .
Being in the middle of the events was by far the greatest experience an intern can have. (

The trust that the ambassador and the diplomats at the Embassy gave me has been critical and made me feel confident.

Last summer I had the great opportunity to intern at the Romanian Embassy in Washington DC. It was a great and enriching experience both from a professional and a personal point of view.
As an intern within the culture and press department, I learned about the efforts an Embassy has to make in order to culturally best represent its country abroad. During my internship, the Embassy organized one big cultural event featuring the famous pan flute interpreter Nicolae Voiculet and a Romanian icons exhibition.

« Pentru un student " american " de pe Coasta de Vest a Statelor Unite , Washington DC a fost un miraj . . . tangibil . Sa fii parte din nucleul vietii politice americane , chiar si pentru o vara, e nu numai o realizare de trecut in CV, dar si o oportunitate de a cunoaste o lume pe care multi dintre noi o vedem evoluând abstract, in mass-media .
Ambasada României la Washington este o oaza de "acasa" si mai ales, o familie . Pentru mine, ambasada înseamn a in primul rând un colectiv tân ar si realmente entuziast , din care am simtit ca fac parte din prima zi , o locatie in una din zonele cele mai minunate ale vechiului Washington si doua luni care au trecut prea repede . »

I came to the Embassy wanting to gain a deeper insight into the relations between the US and Romania , as well as to enrich my knowledge of Romanian culture and intellectuals in the US . As a Comparative Literature graduate student at Harvard University focusing on contemporary literature and politics, I have a deep interest in twentieth century and current Romanian intellectual history.

I got to experience the benefits of team work at its best through a combination of synergy and sunshine (remember this is June in DC!). I bear the fondest memories of our group meetings to discuss the progress of our project and strategize on our next steps. (

I look forward to staying in touch and collaborating with the Embassy on some of its on-going projects.
