Summary

I am passionate about international relations, global development, and foreign policy. As a student of Political Science and French, I aim to pursue a career in international affairs. Growing up in Ethiopia for the first six years of my life, having the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world, and taking various courses in comparative politics has sparked my curiosity about different political systems and cultures. These experiences have shaped my desire to contribute to meaningful change through diplomacy, development, and global cooperation.
