Dual Degree Master International Governance, Law and Diplomacy at HSG/Fletcher School
Case Management in the Asylum Centre Regensdorf
I was already able to discover my passion for the topics during my studies in International Law and Diplomacy and since one of my focus fields in my masters Dual Degree at The Fletcher School in Boston was Humanitarian Aid and Assistance I wanted to engage myself more with such important work that the Circle does and I very appreciate that I can be part of it. Studying in that field made me realize the bubble of people with which we are actually discussing such important objectives and how crucial it is open up the discourse, educate and raise awareness throughout society. This motivates me very much to be a contributing member of CYH.
