Why did you choose McCourt? As an international policy advisor focused on the UK, EU, US and the Middle East it became pivotal to substantiate practical work with excellent institutional academia. Taking part in the best learning opportunity - having the option to learn alongside Georgetown’s finest U.S policy makers, and hear from Capitol Hill’s experts was the main decision making point for me.
What was the best part of your experience? The strong friendships that have been built with the finest of colleagues from around the world. Our shared experiences and the depth of expertise amongst the cohort has been exceptional and will go on for a lifetime.
Undergraduate University, degree, and major: As an international student I have had the opportunity of studying in the UK, Europe and the US and attended prominent global educational institutions such as the London School of Economics, Harvard Kennedy School, and INSEAD.
Hobbies/ Interests: I spend a lot of my time travelling exploring culture, language and societies. I am an advanced scuba diver and have joined up my two passions of travelling and scuba diving as much as possible!!
