About

Amal Budul is a graduate student in public policy and international leadership, with a background of political science and international studies.

A native of Somalia, she experienced living in a failed nation, but continues to push beyond her horizon. She has lived and worked in Tanzania, Canada, and the U.S.

Her areas of interest within the greater scope of political science are international and comparative politics. In her field, she enjoys adopting new skills in communication and analytic problem solving that ensure stronger international relations.
