by Unknown's avatar

Exactly one year ago today, I waved a bittersweet farewell to New York and the United Nations to venture south to our nation’s capital, Washington DC, to continue my development as a foreign policy professional.

Growing Pains of Internationalism

by Unknown's avatar

In December 2023, I completed my time as an assistant in the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in New York.

Yemen’s Age Border: Education’s Role in Post-Conflict Development

by Unknown's avatar

For the Fall 2021 semester, I wrote this article for The Cornell Diplomat for the magazine’s fourth issue Borders. The goal of this semester’s issue was to write an article that focused directly or theoretically on the concept of borders in international affairs. For years, Yemen has been crippled by severe political violence, a weak education system, and famine–serious issues that have only been … Read More Yemen’s Age Border: Education’s Role in Post-Conflict Development
