What are the projects that you’re working on this summer?<\/b><\/p>\n What are you excited to learn about during your internship this summer?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m excited to see how human-centered design and technology guide civic engagement to answer what a digital\u00a0(or more connected) government might\u00a0 What is the best piece of advice you have received?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cOnwards and Upwards\u201d and \u201cTrade your passport in for a diploma\u201d.<\/p>\n What is\u00a0something that people usually don\u2019t expect or know about you?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n People expect that, as a college student, I live and take classes on campus\u2014but I don\u2019t! In fact, I\u2019ve only lived on my campus for two terms during my entire four years in school so far. I study remotely through online classes instead and spend each semester overseas as a Digital Nomad. Most recently I\u2019ve lived and worked in the Vatican, Pittsburgh (2x), Mexico, Indonesia, Cambodia, South Korea (5x), the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Peru, among others.

I also live in Arlington and NoMA so I\u2019m happy to have a short biking ride to biking to and from work. And since I\u2019m from here but spent the last eight years away working, I\u2019m glad to finally have a summer to catch up on missed birthdays and trips with my huge family (including my dog).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jeremiah Azurin comes to public service from data + design, overseas backpacking, and long-distance cycling.
