Leslie Dias is interning at SCG as part of her Master of Arts program in International Development at the University of Denver. As part of this degree, she has completed a regional concentration in the Middle East, and is currently working on a thesis addressing the potential for using nonviolent communication in Middle Eastern development. In 2010, she graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.A. in Political Science, with minors in History and Legal Studies. As an undergrad, Leslie lived, studied and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East/North Africa, including Morocco, Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. These experiences enhanced her deep love and appreciation for Middle Eastern culture, and led her to pursue graduate studies.

As an intern at SCG, Leslie hopes to gain experience in program development specifically, as well as further experience working with a small international non-profit. Hoping to pursue Middle Eastern development work in the future, she is excited to learn more about SCG’s work in “getting to know the other,” improving her intercultural communication skills.
