About
I am an internationally minded professional with a strong interest in global policy, sociology, and the ways economic and cultural systems shape societies. My academic interests focus on understanding globalization, social structures, and the historical forces that influence markets and communities. Through my work and international experiences, I have developed strong cross-cultural communication skills and a deep curiosity about how policy and social research can address global challenges. I aim to pursue interdisciplinary research that connects social analysis with policy solutions in an increasingly interconnected world.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and conducting research on topics that interest me. I value spending quality time with my friends, family, and my cat, which helps me stay grounded and connected. I also love traveling and exploring new places, as well as expressing creativity through collaging and photography. When I want to relax, I enjoy watching shows and movies.
