I graduated with an MA in International Relations (specialising in security, wars and peace issues) following my BA studies in Political Science. I studied at the University of Brussels (Université Libre de Bruxelles – ULB) and at the University of Montréal (Université de Montréal – UdeM).
My Master Thesis centered around the conduct of the Russian Federation (focusing on vetoes of UNSC Resolutions), the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America in the United Nations Security Council on the Syrian issue (for Russia and PRC) and on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (for the USA).
Prior to my studies I spent 10 months in Israel, learning Hebrew.
Kaplan Leadership Initiative
In November 2023, I completed my fellowship at the Kaplan Leadership Initiative, powered by Yesod Europe.
The Kaplan Fellows @Yesod Europe fellowship program is a year-long opportunity tailored for middle-management (Jewish) community professionals, aiming to amplify their potential impact within their communities. This initiative is an integral part of the global Kaplan Leadership Initiative, a program dedicated to nurturing leadership worldwide.
Throughout the year, fellows participate in three European regional seminars and a globally held seminar, where they collaborate with peers from Latin America and the Former Soviet Union. These gatherings serve as platforms to elevate leadership, management skills, applied Jewish learning, and community development practices.
