I have always been drawn to Middle Eastern politics and international relations, and over time that interest has grown into a commitment to understanding the region’s political, cultural, and social dynamics. Through my academic work and involvement in political science at Villanova University, I have developed a strong desire to build a career that connects global policy, diplomacy, and deep regional awareness. I am excited to contribute to work involving Middle Eastern affairs through research, policy analysis, or meaningful international engagement, both in the United States and in roles that involve working across borders.
