Public Service

I believe that working for The U.S. Department of Commerce in South Africa displayed public service in numerous ways. First, by assisting American companies find contacts in the local region to connect with and create trade agreements, we displayed public service qualities by being a channel by which American companies found avenues to expand and grow back home. In the local community we volunteered time and resources to helping out in underprivileged areas. Finally, by maintaining a presence in a foreign country we were part of a group that represented a location of safety for Americans traveling if ever anything should happen.
