OVERVIEW
Marion Bruley, a graduate of Sciences Po, passed away suddenly on November 9, 2011. Marion graduated in 2010 with a master’s degree in public affairs. In 2009, she moved to Washington DC to intern at the French embassy, where she worked as a project assistant on the Partner University Fund, a program of FACE. It was also in DC that she met with David Gauvey Herbert, an American journalist. In July 2010, Marion began a two-year contract as economic attaché at the French embassy in Bangkok.
