Janice Freeman
Janice was born and raised in the Washington, DC suburbs and received dual B.S. degrees in International Business and Marketing from the University of Maryland, College Park. During her undergraduate studies, she interned with the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy and worked with the local music venue, the 9:30 Club. After graduating, she worked on the Asia Regional Team at the peacebuilding organization, Search for Common Ground. In addition to her studies in the Master of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) program, Janice serves as the Strategy Advisor at Search for Common Ground, developing approaches to tackling the world's most destabilizing conflicts. She hopes to pursue a career improving the private sector's engagement in conflict zones and is regionally interested in South and Southeast Asia. Alongside her classes at Georgetown, Janice is learning Bahasa Indonesian.
"I chose the MSFS program because of the strong sense of community, diversity of course offerings, and the opportunity to complement my studies with real-world work experience in Washington, DC."
