About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hey ho!

ABOUT ME

I`m a former journalist who is getting into academia. I am currently in a Political Science PhD program at University of Texas at Austin, researching why and how governments imitate policies from other countries. I am currently living in the US, but I also lived in London for one year to study International Relations.

Before I started my journey into academic research, I worked as a journalist for eight years in Radio and TV. I coordinated the Foreign Desk

I love travelling, camping, hiking, reading and talking. I could spend all night discussing several issues.

PHILOSOPHY
The world is much more complex than it seems to be!
