A period of transition and a vision for the long term. After coming to the end of one job opportunity, Mikhail made the decision to focus on his dream of working as a communications professional with the United Nations. As a Digital Communications Intern with the United Nations Information Centre for the Caribbean Area, Mikhail has been able to deepen his knowledge of the UN, and the use of strategic communication to support the organization’s work in the Caribbean.
