Interview with a 2024 Borderlands Ambassador
One of our interns, Kai Carse, from New York City and a recent graduate of Pomona College, sat down for an interview with our Communications Intern, Rafael Guerrero, before he left the borderlands last week, to discuss his BCA internship experience.
Kai will be heading to Guadalajara, Mexico in the fall to teach English for a year. He intends to pursue a career in immigration law and policy. Kai loves the outdoors - specifically hiking and camping - as well as mentoring, film, and sports. Kai has experience working with two legal aid organizations where he took or transcribed interviews of asylum applicants: Al Otro Lado in California and Safe Passage Project in New York.
