Internship Spotlight: The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies

For the past two semesters, I have had the privilege of interning with the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies at the International Center for Terrorism Studies (ICTS). ICTS expands its focus beyond terrorism to investigate a broader spectrum of security challenges such as cybercrimes, emerging technologies, transnational organized crime, and hybrid warfare.
