How many people can say they’ve sat as an intern at CNN’s international desk? Or worked as a press aide to Ambassador Madeleine K. Albright at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations? Or served in the Peace Corps for four years in Ethiopia and Madagascar, worked at World Bank in its anti-corruption unit, studied at Harvard and served as a law clerk for a federal judge?
