John Locke Institute, Global Affairs Forum, Washington, D.C. (Summer 2025)

One of the most transformative and eye-opening experiences I’ve ever had, an opportunity to engage deeply with knowledge in a way that encourages critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. The ability to question what is said and what is happening around me has developed naturally into a habit, one that now feels essential to how I understand and interact with the world. Along the way, I have had the privilege of meeting inspiring professors and peers, whose perspectives and support have significantly shaped my journey. These connections have not only enriched my academic growth but have also led to meaningful and long-standing relationships that continue to profoundly impact my life. To being a citizen of the cosmos.
