Doreen Mendoza
M.A., SIS, 2003 (International Economic Policy)
 After completing her M.A. at SIS, Doreen Mendoza took a job as an International Trade Specialist at the U.S. Department of Commerce. Doreen works in the Office of Multilateral Affairs in the International Trade Administration, which represented U.S. industry in the WTO Doha Round Non-Agricultural Market Access negotiations. Doreen has also served as a U.S. Government representative at the Non-Tariff Barrier negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland.
Doreen advises SIS students to exploit the school's location in Washington and take part in a variety of internships throughout their SIS careers. She also strongly suggests spending at least one semester abroad to gain a broader international perspective.
SIS courses that had significant impact on Doreen include International Economics, International Trade and Investment, International Monetary and Financial Relations, International Law and the Legal Order, and U.S. Foreign Economic Policy. These courses, especially the International Trade and Investment course, provided her with knowledge about the global trade economy and served as a stepping-stone to her current employment.
Doreen maintains contact with the SIS community and occasionally returns to campus to speak with students on SIS Grad Days and at SIS open houses. |
