Summary

I recently received my Master of Arts in International Relations from the University of San Diego, which is where I also received my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations. The majority of my research focused on Eurasian affairs, Turkish politics, U.S.-Turkish relations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the European Union (EU).


I am interested in starting my career in roles where I will continue to work on the topics that I have concentrated on. For example, working as a research analyst, policy advisor, program coordinator for an international organization like NATO, the EU, the United Nations (UN), or any international organization especially in Europe.


I was born and raised in San Diego, California, and I am the daughter of two immigrants from Turkey and Mexico. I am fluent in English, advanced in Spanish, proficient in Turkish, and a beginner in French. I would like to utilize my language skills and studies to excel in the field of international relations.
