Accelerated Master of Arts (MA) in Political Science

I’m a senior Political Science and Human Rights major and History minor at the University of Connecticut. I’m also a first-year accelerated MA student interested in comparative political theory. My primary interests are in Meritocracy, genocide studies, and diplomacy. My interdisciplinary interests in political science, human rights, and history make me open to expanding the scope of my future research.

Outside of academics, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with friends and family, and traveling.
