Cortne Edmonds, Neighbor

I am a recent Georgetown graduate, with a major in Chinese and a minor in Government. I hope to get started in a career in US-China policy. Yet the characteristic most people will point out about me is my knowledge and love of good food. I turned a former blog of mine into a food blog, using personal anecdotes from living and working in DC last summer to demonstrate budgeting cooking and eating out for college students. While at Georgetown, I found a way to reconcile these somewhat divergent interests in my senior thesis, titled "Tradition of the Gourmets: How the Communists Failed to Politicize the People's Palate." Now I am working on life away from the hilltop and I hope to provide a local voice about transition and moving on to my fellow graduates and other young adults.
