About

Passionate about the area of International Affairs. I’ve had some great experiences, from my positions with two notable print and online journals as well as my time in the Middle East and North Africa region. I had the amazing opportunity to get an education at the George Washington University, where I graduated in 3 years. Always looking for new ways to involve myself in the International Affairs World.
