I am a second-year student in the MPhil in International Relations and a member of St. Anne´s College. Having an interdisciplinary background in economics, politics, finance and philosophy, my research interests are broad, yet geared towards European integration, identity politics, Middle Eastern affairs and CFSP. Outside of my studies, I am involved in several transdisciplinary societies, also serving as President of the Europeanist Society Oxford.
Before beginning the MPhil, I obtained a BA in International Relations & Global Economics from Jacobs University Bremen in Germany, graduating cum laude. During my undergraduate studies, I lived in Jerusalem and conducted research on local conflicts as part of a tenure at the Harry S. Truman Research Institute. After graduation, I was fortunate to work at the Council of the EU, serving on several Council working groups for foreign relations, including COASI, COAFR, MAMA and ACP. Besides working in a consultancy and a bank, I founded a charitable start-up, focused on providing capital markets education for students. I also served on various committees within my university, including as co-chair for the university´s start-up competition, Capital Markets Society and Exchange Students Committee. I wrote my bachelor's thesis on the rejection of the JCPOA by regional states.
After completing my studies, I hope to work for the EEAS, or the European Commission.
