Meet Our Summer 2025 Intern!
Meet Isabelle Coloma, one of our International Programs interns this summer. Isabelle is a master’s student of International Comparative Education at Stanford University, researching global citizenship education and curriculum design.
Her spirited interest in international engagement and service began with high school Mandarin Chinese classes and deepened through a study abroad in Hong Kong, where she navigated a new educational system and the vibrant complexities of a global city.
During her internship with Global Ties San Francisco, Isabelle is most looking forward to engaging with various local and global policy issues while gaining the unique perspectives of our international visitors.
“International cooperation begins with conversations. I am excited to understand the role of citizen diplomacy in advancing the long-term goals of productive dialogue and cultural understanding.”
Committed to mutual learning through collaborative dialogue and cross-cultural communication, Isabelle is eager to gain experience in public diplomacy, examine its convergence with her interests in global education, and explore how Global Ties San Francisco advances U.S. foreign policy through international exchange.
Outside of her academic studies, she enjoys spending her free time learning about other cultures through food, language, and soap operas.
Welcome to the intern team, Isabelle!
