I am a second-year student at the University of Leeds, studying International Relations and Modern Languages (Portuguese). I plan to pursue a law conversion degree after graduation and have hands-on experience in legal research and public policy advocacy, with a strong interest in human rights, international law, and diplomacy. In addition to my academic work, I’m a published author and journalist, with writing featured in two independent magazines. I love using storytelling to explore culture, identity, and the complexities of youth, aiming to connect people, spark dialogue, and highlight social issues. I’m excited to bring that curiosity and clarity of communication into my professional life, especially in politically oriented roles.
