I have been interning at the Arlington Chamber of Commerce for about seven months, since November 2018. My journey to the United States actually started when I was a student in China. I spent two-and-a-half years studying in China, where I had a lot of opportunity to work on projects with a Korean government agency, an international trade company, and a marketing firm.

Through those experiences, I started to study the growth and decline of small and medium-sized firms. During my last semester, I prepared a thesis about cases of direct investment by Korean companies in China. Once I completed my studies, I realized that I needed a comprehensive understanding of what America is like, because the U.S. and Korea have a close partnership – not only economically, but also politically.

From May 25 to September 8, 2019, the WMATA (Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority commonly referred to as Metro) is closing six Metrorail stations south of National Airport to reconstruct outdoor platforms and conduct necessary maintenance.  For the past year, NVTC (Northern Virginia Transit Commission) has been working with WMATA and local jurisdictions to provide additional convenient options for riders to get around this summer, including free shuttles, enhanced Metrobus service, and enhanced local service.
