MEET

Margaret Jones

I start by asking her about her early interests and careers, and she tells me that she attended University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she started her bachelor's degree in Political Science and completed it at Loyola University in Chicago. One of the most pivotal professional experiences of her life was interning for U.S. Senator Alan J Dixon on a project focused on international child parental abduction. This had her reaching out to diplomats to facilitate connections, and deeply understand the complexities and challenges of the work.
