Summary
Being a Political Science first-year student at the University of Guelph, I keep my passion for government, public policy, international relations, political economy and the Middle East alive. In addition, I speak fluently English, Arabic and Turkish, speak conversational Kurdish and currently studying Spanish. I already had some research experience by working together with Alnaser Duraid Saeed on research concerning Middle Eastern governments, political corruption, economic problems, governance and regional political development. Starting from August 2020, I am also a video editor at the Manbar Tashreen Channel, where I have more than six years of experience in video making, content editing and media communication. All this experience has made me a better researcher and communicator who is able to collect information, analyze political and economic problems, communicate and present information. I am looking for jobs in political research, policy analysis, writing, government, international affairs and political communications.
