I am a political science graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a strong interest and background in research and foreign policy. I am currently working as an OSINT Analyst Intern at The Counterterrorism Group, where I perform investigative reports on extremist groups in North America, conduct P.O.I. investigations on new interns, and contribute to discovering new extremist websites and social media channels.In my previous internships, I gained valuable experience in bias analysis, media analysis, and human rights advocacy. I worked with Biasly, a platform that aims to educate people on different types of bias and promote critical thinking. I also worked with the East Turkistan Government in Exile, where I helped disseminate information on the Uyghur Genocide and wrote research papers on natural resource exploitation and CCP philosophy. I am passionate about using my skills and knowledge to support the causes of peace, justice, and democracy, and I believe that I can bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team.
