I am currently a student at George Washington Univserity studying international affairs with a concentration in comparative political, social, and economic systems. Through my coursework and research experience I have developed a passion for regional issues in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, especially issues surrounding democracy and global governance. I have had the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge on current issues surorunding these regions, and have developed analytical skills that have allowed me to examine global issues from a variety of persepctives.
