A PARK PORTRAIT - Tenzin Dawa Thargay '11

Skillful Communicator

As a sixth grader, I distinctly recall sharing my “Name Story” and Tibetan heritage with the whole school during Morning Meeting. That experience helped develop my passion for public speaking, while Park’s emphasis on accepting and appreciating different cultures naturally guided me to a career in international affairs. Studying and speaking with my foreign counterparts in their own languages is a powerful way to show respect for their cultures.”

As a diplomat serving the State Department in Vietnam, Tenzin draws on this foundation as he works to represent and promote U.S. foreign policy abroad.
