IR Specialist, Policy Analyst, Researcher

Having witnessed the 2008 Russian-Georgian war at a young age, I decided to devote my life to international politics. I was awarded a Chevening Scholarship to study MA in Diplomacy and Foreign Policy at the City University of London. Over the course of the past five years, I have worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of European Integration of Georgia, the U.S. Embassy, ISFED, and the European Parliament. My areas of expertise include government affairs, international relations and international security, with a special interest in IR theory, policy research, and risk assessment. As a political analyst, I specialize in Eastern Europe (particularly Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova), South Caucasus, Russian foreign policy, US, UK and EU foreign policy, US-China relations, and the Black Sea region.
