About me
Hi all, welcome to a quick look into who I am, and why I care so deeply about the world we live in.
After witnessing more missile tests than cat videos and seeing democracy retreat in too many corners of the world, I decided to pursue a career dedicated to not just merely watching it unfold from the sidelines as a third-party observer, but actively contributing to the progression of democracy. It’s not just about analyzing power dynamics; it’s about ensuring that our universal value of freedom and justice don’t become relics of the past.
When I’m not navigating the complexities of international relations or unpacking the latest domestic political developments, you can find me reflecting on how to make a meaningful impact, or fueling my thoughts with another cup of coffee, one democracy-defending sip at a time.
