Hi! I am currently working as a research assistant with a university in Germany as well as working as a Business Analyst at Deloitte in Egypt. I am waiting for funding decisions with regards to Georgetown, Cambridge and Oxford. Most of my experience are in the field of economic/social development with programs related to economic and youth empowerment. I was supposed to work as a program analyst for USAID, but the pandemic happened and project was canceled. Let me know if you need advice on politics graduate studies or what do you expect. I was also a double major in economics. I really love political economy and I intend to continue in the field of political economy and research. Happy to always answer your questions and sorry for the late reply! :smile:
