ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: ANDREW JENSEN

 

Andrew Jensen is a policy advisor on Iran in the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes. In this role, he supports the Treasury Department’s policy function aimed at disrupting Iran's nuclear program, support for terrorism, and human rights abuses. His responsibilities include developing financial strategies to combat the proliferation threat posed by Iran and to protect the U.S. and international financial systems from abuse. Jensen joined the Treasury in 2009 and previously served as an adviser to the Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and as an economic analyst focused on illicit finance issues in the Middle East.

Jensen is a graduate of the University of Utah with a degree in political science and is currently studying business and finance at Georgetown University. He is proud to have worked closely with the Hinckley Institute of Politics during his time at the University of Utah, serving as an intern in the personal office of Chairman Tom Lantos of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2008 and in the office of Attorney General Mark Shurtleff in 2009. He also published articles on Iran's nuclear program and on transnational terrorism in the Hinckley Journal of Politics and the Hinckley Institute-sponsoredG8 Summit Magazine.


 

 


INTERN SPOTLIGHT: CATHERINE DAWSON
 

Catherine Dawson is serving a global Hinckley internship in South Africa with the Democratic Alliance Parliamentary Caucus. She is currently working to create a program to be used for training the new members of parliament in protocol during committee meetings and deliberations. In addition, she also has assisted at numerous political events and serves as an official ambassador for the Democratic Alliance to other opposition political parties with parliamentary seats.

Catherine says of her internship, "I feel at home here. I actually wake up on time every morning willingly so I can get started on work and see my co-workers! I admire all the people I work with...the Chief Whip of the opposition, who is by far the most important person in our building knows me by name!" Most importantly, Catherine believes her internship has taught her "so much about how I would like to treat others, especially when I am in a position of influence. It is the little things that people do which often make the most difference." 

Catherine is a senior studying international studies and French. She was born in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, but grew up in New Jersey. South Africa is the eighth country she has lived in and is, so far, her "favorite."
