At first, I was influenced by my aunt and uncle who also graduated with global affairs degrees. I was always interested in international issues and how different societies interact in the modern era. It seemed fitting to pick global affairs as my major.
Every academic experience I spent in CHSS helped strengthen my knowledge and professional skills. It also helped broaden my thinking and changed my outlook of the world.
Despite spending a short time at Mason, I'm particularly proud of upholding my GPA and also surviving online school during a pandemic.
I believe that each of my instructors impacted me in a positive way. Each has taught me both life and academic lessons that I will hold on to after graduation.
Always reach out for help and take advantage of any opportunities that are offered.
Following graduation, I aim to obtain an internship in the non-profit/government field. My long term career goals are a work in progress but I do wish to work with the international community in the future.
