First and foremost, I am drawn to the Council on Foreign Relations because of its mission to promote a deeper understanding and analysis of international affairs. As an avid follower of global events and a firm believer in the importance of international cooperation, I have long admired the Council’s commitment to providing a platform for informed discussions and policy recommendations.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from a top university, where I developed a strong foundation in global politics, economics, and history. I have also recently completed a certificate program in Corporate Communications, which has equipped me with the latest industry knowledge and best practices.
