I had a very positive experience working with Ella and Professor Kirton to translate my passion for geopolitics into a professional experience. I would recommend this to anyone who hopes to develop their research skills in policy.

Ella and the valemount team are such a supportive and understanding team to work with!

Working with Prof. Kirton and Ms. Warren in compliance analysis has been a great experience and reinforced my skills and familiarity in my G7RG work. Feedback and guidance were provided in a prompt and helpful manner!

I had a great experience working with Ella Kokotsis at global summits. Since the beginning, she had been so accessible with communication, always willing to help with any questions or concerns. She has also been encouraging and supportive throughout the project, and she takes time to find the right work for you that will be of your interest. I believe the experience you can gain from having a mentor like that is invaluable. Having the opportunity to work on projects such as with the G7 research group is a great stepping stone in your career. I was able to gain so much knowledge and connect with more professionals/students in this field which is something I am happy to take with me from this internship.

Working on this project with Dr. Ella was the best learning experience I could have asked for. Her guidance, support, and expertise helped us navigate challenges and improve my work. I truly appreciate her time and dedication—this project wouldn’t have been the same without her! Thank you, Dr. Ella!

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Ella and the rest of the Valemount team. This work is so interesting!!

Ella Kokotsis was a great mentor throughout this project. She continuously gave clear and detailed guidance whenever I needed it. She also has a lot of expertise in this field and I have learned a lot from her.

Loved having the chance to work with Ella. She's an incredible mentor with exceptional experience in the field. She was very welcoming, with great communication.
