Honors Sophomore at Southern Methodist University, majoring in Political Science and International Studies with a minor in Italian. My focus is on international relations, with a concentration on the Middle East, particularly in counterterrorism, human rights, and the advancement of democracy. I speak moderate German, Italian, and Spanish, which complements my passion for global engagement. I’ve been dedicated to SOS Children’s Villages, the world’s largest international NGO, since I was nine, serving as the California Youth Ambassador for five years, raising tens of thousands of dollars to support vulnerable children worldwide. Committed to making a meaningful impact both locally and globally, my interests in travel, language learning, and cultural immersion continue to fuel my aspirations for a career in international diplomacy and global policymaking.
