About Me

I’m a hardworking, detail-oriented student with a desire to learn more about the field of international relations. While I pursued global affairs with a desire to work in the humanitarian field, through my studies, I’ve developed an interest in the intersection of the federal government and the private sector.

I have a background in the restaurant industry with six years, one of which is as a general manager working at Jersey Mike’s. I’ve also had the pleasure of interning with the Afghan Refugee Mentorship Program, where I had my first hands-on experience in the nonprofit world.

What Drew Me to Global Affairs

I was born in the small village of Bantul, Indonesia, and adopted by an American mother and a South African father. Growing up in a culturally diverse family, I felt fortunate to have loving parents, a comfortable life, and access to a quality education. This sense of gratitude made me keenly aware that many children are not afforded the same opportunities, inspiring me to study international relations and pursue a career in the humanitarian field.

My father’s work in conflict resolution and mediation, combined with my experience living in South Africa, further shaped my aspirations. Witnessing the stark disparities between black and white South Africans in the post-apartheid era left a lasting impression on me and deepened my commitment to addressing global inequalities.
