About Me

I am a passionate professional, who has developed a strong interest for international, regional and national societal issues. With 3 years of overseas experience and exposure to international and governmental programming, I’ve developed phenomenal research, writing, organizational and analytical skills, which are further complimented by my interest and experience with journalism and foreign languages. Nevertheless, I am happiest while working as a part of a team and with the public.
