I am a student at the University of Rhode Island majoring in International Studies, Political Science, and Italian. My academic journey has been shaped by an array of experiences, beginning with the program in International Studies and Diplomacy, a dual degree program of International Studies and Italian. Combining this with a third major in Political Science has allowed me to delve deeply into the mechanisms of global governance and diplomatic strategies. My commitment to learning Italian led me to embark on a year abroad in Italy, and this experience has not only refined my linguistic proficiency, but also provided invaluable insights into the intersection of culture, politics, and diplomacy. I am eager to further expand my expertise, I am focused on pursuing a Master's degree in International Relations next year.
