Passionate about shaping a better world through policy and advocacy, I’m a Political Science graduate currently diving deeper into global affairs with a Master’s in International Relations. My experience spans working with NGOs and political parties, where I’ve tackled everything from grassroots campaigns to policy analysis. I thrive in dynamic environments—whether it’s driving social change on the ground or crafting strategies at the policy level. With a blend of academic knowledge and real-world experience, I’m eager to contribute to global initiatives that promote justice, diplomacy, and sustainable development.
