I began my journey at SPS shortly after my military deployment to Iraq. For me, it marked a major step towards changing my career and committing to full-time work in humanitarian aid. NYU SPS equipped me with the necessary skills to navigate and adapt to the sector, along with the credibility to show employers that I was genuinely dedicated to making the transition."
