This week Mariam sits down with Weston Weber, a second-year graduate student pursuing a degree in Global Policy Studies at the LBJ School, to discuss breaking into international government jobs and leveraging the support of his peers, as well as the decision to go to grad school and dealing with imposter syndrome. Prior to joining the LBJ community, Weston received his B.A. in International Relations and Global Studies, specializing in Russia and Eastern Europe and international security. His interests include climate security, sustainability, and their potential intersection on space management and sustainability. 

Currently, Weston is a Brumley graduate fellow at the Strauss Center for International Security and Law in their Space Security, Safety, and Sustainability Program.
