I hold a Master's of Arts in European Studies from KU Leuven with a major in European External Relations, and a minor in European Diversity and Cultural Policy. Knowledge gained from the degree thus far includes EU external relations policy and tools, peace research theory, and history and techniques of diplomatic practice among others. My thesis focused on the current political climate in Poland, especially in terms of the relationship between nationalism and religious discourse.Given my previous background in English Literature, I have extensively developed skills such as research, analysis and intellectual autonomy. All of these were represented in my final year thesis, which focused on the representation of interpersonal relationships in Victorian literature, given its industrialist context.I am currently focused on further development in the field of social sciences.
