Allow me to introduce myself.My name is Leonardo Gioia, and I am a recent graduate in International Relations with a keen interest in studying international dynamics. I find it particularly fascinating to focus my research and gaze on distant destinations about which little is known. My undergraduate and master's theses, which focused on international legal mechanisms of countermeasures, the Taiwan issue, and Sino-American geopolitical relations, reflect my deep interest in current and complex issues. Work experiences in the diplomatic field have strengthened my aspiration to pursue a career in international affairs, a field in which I feel inclined and eager to contribute.In the short term, I aim to refine my skills and nurture my interest in International Relations through the Second-Level Master's program in Politics and International Relations Experts at Master University of Lumsa in Rome. In the long run, I aspire to work in the field of international affairs, enriching my knowledge in the delicate political, economic, and legal landscape of international relations.My skills encompass a profound understanding of international dynamics in critical situations, with analyses ranging from legal to socio-political, economic to geopolitical. My fluent knowledge of English and French, officially certified by university structures, enhances my ability to communicate in complex international contexts.My academic journey includes a bachelor's degree in Political Science and International Relations, followed by a master's degree in International Relations with honors, focusing on security, democracy, and international geopolitics. Academic skills have been enriched by a study abroad experience in Hungary, thanks to the Erasmus program, during which I delved into philosophical, economic, and geopolitical disciplines.My social commitment is reflected in volunteering for the student committee for the parity commission of the Political Science class and participation in religious initiatives for food collection for the needy. I attend social events such as rallies and meetings regarding the country's geopolitical positions within today's challenges in international relations.I firmly believe that hard work is the key to achieving one's goals. As a well-known adage goes, "Success is the result of constant effort and tireless determination." I am ready to face the challenges in my journey, dedicating myself with curiosity and commitment to achieving my professional goals.
