What my work focuses on mainly is the complexity of human rights and security. I am constantly working on expanding my knowledge not only regarding these topics but many more and use it to help and educate others. I have had the chance to interact and communicate with many respectable diplomats and officials from all around the World. I am still daily using everything they have taught me to become better at what I do. In my future career I would like to focus on Security Studies.
