Summary
Upon completing my undergraduate degree, I aim to pursue a joint program, pursuing a master's in public policy alongside a juris doctor.

Furthermore, I am deeply committed to making substantive contributions to the field of foreign policy, with a focused interest in analyzing Russo-American and Russo-Ukrainian relations. Ultimately, my career goal is to serve as a public servant oriented toward foreign policy initiatives.
