I studied European Studies, which gave me broad knowledge across business, politics, international relations, law and intercultural communication. This mix helped me develop a diverse skill set and sparked my interest in security, policy making and governance. I am eager to contribute to bigger or social causes and I don't shy away from putting in extra hours; I am committed and work well under pressure. I enjoy sports and reading, with hobbies including hiking, skiing and high-intensity training. These activities shape my teamwork, resilience and dedication.
