As an accomplished professional with a Master’s degree in Middle East Politics and a Bachelor's in Criminology, I possess a strong foundation in policy analysis, research methodologies, and global political dynamics. My current role as a Security Assistant has honed my ability to manage complex datasets, conduct detailed analysis, and collaborate with key stakeholders, all of which are transferable to the Policy Analyst position at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF). With extensive experience in research project development, legal documentation, and intelligence gathering, I have developed excellent written and verbal communication skills, allowing me to present complex ideas clearly and persuasively. My background equips me with the ability to analyze policy issues, draft reports and articles, and engage effectively with policymakers, making me a strong candidate to contribute to ITIF’s work at the intersection of trade, IP, and digital technology governance.
