I have always had a natural curiosity about the world around me, how it works, what drives the decisions we make, and how our actions ripple through society. Over time, that curiosity led me to focus on the intersection of technology, politics, and global security. I am fascinated by how emerging technologies, especially in cybersecurity, are shaping the world we live in. These technologies have the power to change everything, from how we connect with one another to how governments enforce laws and protect citizens. But they also come with serious ethical dilemmas that need to be addressed if we want to ensure they are used responsibly and for the greater good. That is where I find my passion.

My academic background reflects my interests. I hold a master’s in international affairs from King’s College London, specializing in cybersecurity. It was there that I really began to delve into the ethical questions surrounding data protection, privacy, and corporate responsibility in the digital age. Whether it is the balance between innovation and security or the challenges of protecting personal data in an increasingly connected world, these are the kinds of questions I love tackling. It is one thing to understand how technology works; it is another to understand how it affects us all on a larger scale.

Before diving into cybersecurity, I had the chance to explore the world of international organizations. At the European Patent Office, I assisted with data protection regulations, helped navigate contract processes, and facilitated communication between different stakeholders. One of the most interesting parts of the job was working directly with interpreters, assisting them with documentation for oral proceedings. In this context, I also gained insight into the critical role that audio quality and technical setup play in ensuring accurate interpretation. Clear sound is essential for interpreters to perform their work effectively, highlighting how even small technical details can have a significant impact in high-stakes multilingual environments. I also had the opportunity to complete an internship in commercial, intellectual property, and IT law, which helped me see firsthand how laws and policies shape the digital landscape. Law, technology, politics, and security are all connected, and understanding how these pieces fit together is something I find incredibly fascinating.

When I am not studying or working on a project, I like to read about a variety of topics, but I often find myself diving into history, geopolitics, and the forces shaping global affairs. From the causes of ethnic cleansing in Myanmar to the impact of pipelines and war on international power dynamics, I am drawn to understanding how historical events influence the present. I believe that history and culture are crucial for making sense of current challenges, whether in the digital sphere or in broader global conflicts. These interests complement my work in cybersecurity, as many of today’s technological debates are deeply rooted in historical power struggles and societal changes.

Through my work at Meer, I hope to contribute to these ongoing conversations. My goal is to dig into the complexities of the digital world while also exploring the broader historical and geopolitical contexts that shape our society. Whether discussing cybersecurity, data protection, or the long-term effects of global conflicts, I believe in the power of thoughtful analysis to help shape public understanding and policy. These are issues that affect everyone, and I am passionate about breaking them down into stories that resonate with a wide audience, not just experts but also everyday people who are impacted by these challenges.

One of the things that excites me most about this work is the potential for positive change. Technology, when used responsibly, can be a force for good. It can create new opportunities, improve lives, and help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. But to make that happen, we need to approach these issues with care, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility. We need to keep asking tough questions and challenging the status quo. That is the kind of work I want to do—work that makes people think, reflect, and hopefully take action.

My interests are not confined to technology and policy. I have always had a deep love for history and travel. My father has been a huge influence in this regard, teaching me that culture and history can truly be understood only by experiencing them firsthand. Traveling has given me the opportunity to witness different ways of life, immerse myself in new customs, and connect with people from all walks of life. It is through these experiences that I have come to understand the importance of context when analyzing both the present and the past. Whether it is exploring ancient cities, understanding the legacies of colonialism, or seeing firsthand how economic policies shape daily life, these experiences continue to shape my perspective and fuel my curiosity.
