Summary

Hailing from the crossroads of South Asia, the Middle East, and the United States, I'm a global nomad with my eyes set on breaking into the thrilling intersection of international relations and journalism. Fluent in the art of many languages and a seasoned tale-spinner, I am an organized and diligent PhD candidate by day and a creative storyteller by night. Whether I'm tuned in, researching, or immersed in the real-world implications of current affairs, I thrive on transforming the passive observer into a curious creator of captivating stories at the intersection of politics, culture, and identity. You can find my writing portfolio on my personal website. I am currently on a quest to dive into the world of broadcasting, radio, and journalism, all with the ambition of evolving into a future foreign correspondent. I would be grateful for your support in helping me get there.
