Education

Bachelor's degree, International Relations and Security Studies
  • at Duquesne University
  • May 2019

I'm currently studying at Duquesne University in my home city of Pittsburgh, PA. My current interests in this field are the United States foreign policy. As a student who has grown up watching America extend its reach far beyond its borders, for better or for worse, I want to work toward creating healthy and stable relationships between the United States and countries of the MENA region. While studying my two majors, I'm also spending time in Arabic classes taught in an international relations context. The classroom and my Arab colleagues have helped me progress greatly, but I wish to relocate to the Arab world and serve its people while becoming fluent in Arabic.
