During my internship at the PECC International Secretariat, one aspect that particularly caught my interest was the opportunity to work on cross-border economic and policy issues. The exposure to international economic cooperation and the chance to contribute to discussions and initiatives involving multiple countries fascinated me. Being a part of an organization that focuses on promoting regional economic integration and collaboration provided me with insights into the complexities and dynamics of global economies.

Furthermore, I was intrigued by the emphasis on data-driven decision-making and policy analysis. The chance to engage in data mining, analyses, and visualization aligned with my interest in leveraging data to derive meaningful insights. This aspect allowed me to see the real-world applications of skills I had developed and strengthened during my academic journey.

Collaborating with a diverse team of professionals from different backgrounds also piqued my interest. The opportunity to learn from individuals with varying perspectives and experiences enriched my understanding of international relations and the multifaceted nature of economic cooperation.

Overall, the combination of international economic affairs, data-driven decision-making, and collaboration within a diverse team made my internship at the PECC International Secretariat an engaging and intellectually stimulating experience.
