The Day My Job Mattered Most: Tania, Public Diplomacy Officer

In 1993 I was a brand-new Foreign Service officer in a brand-new embassy in a brand-new country, in Kazakhstan and, although very junior, I got to play a role in a major foreign policy event. When I arrived at post, officers more senior to me had been working with the Kazakhstani government to secure dangerous Soviet-era nuclear weapons that had been left in Kazakhstan's territory when the Soviet Union broke apart...I, the first-tour officer, was the press officer for the embassy, so I was brought into the project fairly early on.
