I am a Philosophy graduate with strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills. I enjoy big-picture thinking, demonstrated in my academic work as well as my keen interest in current affairs and geopolitics. I also excel at detailed analysis and strategic thinking, exemplified by my passion for chess. Thriving in collaborative environments, I value diverse perspectives that challenge my own views and contribute to more effective outcomes.
