My unique upbringing as an Armenian refugee emigrating from Azerbaijan to the Russian Federation during the Nagorno-Karabakh War and then to the United States has given me a first-hand view of disparity between the developing and developed worlds. Living in countries known for corruption, organized criminal activity, and terror inspired my decision to pursue a career in international law.Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in political science and global affairs enabled me to expand my knowledge base about political systems, civil liberties, and world issues. I then earned my master’s degree in foreign policy and public diplomacy at the Institute of World Politics, while also working as a Victim-Witness Liaison at the Office of International Affairs of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice. This experience allowed me to compose high-quality affidavits and obtain records from electronic communication service providers for foreign prosecutors.I have extensive experience handling and maintaining the integrity of sensitive materials and information. I work with a close-knit team, in a fast-paced environment, and with minimal supervision. I collaborate professionally with various law enforcement agencies across the world and routinely resolve critical concerns in an expeditious manner.I find fulfillment in my work and am motivated, dedicated, and highly organized. I am a detail-oriented team player who can manage competing priorities without sacrificing quality. My evaluations routinely note my positive effect on team morale, and I regularly provide assistance to others during the course of my duties. I bring operational prowess, critical thinking, and effective management skills to any team I join.
Listed skills include International Relations, Foreign Policy, Political Science, Politics, and 41 others.
