Summary

I'm a Political Science student with a passion for exploring the forces that shape societies and influence people’s lives. Through my studies, I've developed a strong grounding in political theory, international relations, and public policy, which I love bringing into real-world discussions and analyses. My experiences have taught me how to dig deep into research, analyze complex data, and communicate ideas clearly. I’m especially interested in public service and advocacy, and I’m excited about opportunities to apply what I’ve learned to meaningful projects that make a difference.
