"My specific job for my first tour in Benin will be to represent the United States by serving as the Public Diplomacy Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou,' [she] said. She acknowledged that Benin is primarily a French-speaking nation. She enrolled in a full-time French language training class at the Foreign Service Institute after learning this information. ...
Her tour was picked through a bid list system in which individuals rank available positions around the world and they are notified weeks later during the Flag Day Ceremony. There, a Foreign Service Officer is given a post and flag of their country, which is one of the most exciting days. She will serve her tour for two years and be reassigned after to another country for placement."
