About Me
I have worked in the UK the last five years as a researcher at De Montfort, Coventry and Warwick University in the fields of procurement and business support for European Union funded projects in the fields of international trade and technology transfer. During this position, I have gained experience both on the academic side (having published journal articles in top journals in the field and having lectured courses in business) and in the field (providing business support to Small and Medium Enterprises, working closely with intermediaries ranging from the UK Department of Work and Pensions to Business Link and the European Social Research Council). I have also gained valuable online marketing experience running my own website and the websiteblog of the research institute where I currently work which attracts around 1,000 users a month.
Prior to working, I have completed two advanced degrees in International Relations (a Bachelor’s degree with honors from Webster University in Vienna and a Master’s degree with a 2.1 result from Warwick University in England) in a period of three years compared to the six years it normally takes. Courses and fields that I specialized on include: international organizations, security studies, democracy and development and human rights. My master’s thesis topic was: Addressing the Arab-Israeli Conflict: A Comparative Analysis of US and European Approaches.
