Summary
I am deeply passionate about exploring the intersections of conflict resolution, storytelling, and social justice. My journey has taught me the power of storytelling as a tool for understanding individual experiences and fostering empathy. Through fostering relationships and promoting pluralism, I have prepared myself for graduate studies and the pursuit of societal change.
My vision for the future involves delving into the role of religion in conflict resolution and transnational threats. I am eager to explore how religion, often weaponized throughout history, can instead serve as a catalyst for unity and bridge-building within our communities. My ultimate goal is to contribute to creating a more inclusive and harmonious society by leveraging the transformative potential of storytelling and interfaith collaboration.
