Summary
I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree at George Mason University in Government and International Politics with a minor in International Security. After graduation I am debating between going to law school or pursuing a master’s degree in International Relations.
I decided to do my internship at Democracy on Air because I wanted to be able to participate in forums and discussions about our representatives and candidates and I value the importance of that.

About
As someone who was raised in the Middle East, I am extremely privy to how important it is to have a democracy, more specifically how crucial it is for the public to be well informed about the democratic process and elections. Growing up in the Middle East, I did not understand the impact of having an informed public. I moved to the United States from in August of 2016 around the time when one of the most crucial presidential races was happening. It was the first time I ever got the chance to vote in an election where I knew my voice mattered and I was able to see first-hand how important it is to be able to talk about those who are running for office especially those wanting to run the country.
