I am a senior at Marist College, pursuing a double major in Political Science and Global Studies, complemented by a minor in Public Relations. My research experience spans topics such as political history, extremism, and international security, providing me with a strong understanding of global affairs. I have also had opportunities to participate in meaningful work in countering terrorism and human trafficking. As an experienced Democratic political operative, I am passionate about advancing policies that promote justice, equality, and social progress. I am committed to deepening my expertise and continuously seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute—whether through internships, collaborative projects, or new work opportunities.Research Interests: Afghan Affairs, China-Middle East Relations, Counterterrorism Policy, Democratic Backsliding, Migration, Intelligence Studies, Political Islam, Taliban Organization StructureRegion Interests: China, European Union, Middle East/North Africa, Afghanistan
