I am a senior undergraduate student at the University of Calgary, and am currently working in Washington D.C. as a Research Associate with The Council on Hemispheric Affairs. Founded in 1975, the Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA), a nonprofit, tax-exempt independent research and information organization, was established to promote the common interests of the hemisphere, raise the visibility of regional affairs and increase the importance of the inter-American relationship, as well as encourage the formulation of rational and constructive U.S. policies towards Latin America.
