International Studies student at Montgomery College, pursuing a pathway in Foreign Policy & Diplomacy. Focused on geopolitical theory, multilateral institutions, and the ideological forces shaping our world order.
I'm a freshman at Montgomery College pursuing an A.A. in International Studies with a concentration in Political Ideologies — a stepping stone toward a four-year program in International Affairs and a career in Foreign Policy & Diplomacy.
My academic interests sit at the intersection of political theory and spectrum, philosophy, i.e., the theory of knowledge (epistemology), and neo-geopolitical theory, rooted in the uprising of the Industrial Revolution.. I'm particularly drawn to U.S.-Türkiye relations, NATO alliance dynamics, the Non-Aligned Movement, Indo-China-U.S. competition, and Islamic political thought.
I strongly believe that one must find the root cause of any social and political issues to prevent further conflicts.
