French, Korean, Uzbek... and many other languages have been a subject of study for Paula Zhang. Starting with a spy series she read as a child, Paula was inspired by the main character to find a way to save the world. That character spoke a lot of languages... and so, that became the model for Paula, who's pursuit of languages and travel became an integral part of her identity. Paula continues to learn languages at all levels of difficulty that can be found all around the world, leveraging the programs and networks available. 

Paula has participated in the following programs: 

The Department of State's Critical Language Scholarship

National Security Language Initiative for Youth

The Fulbright Program
