After working on it for approximately three year, I have completed the Certificate in Global Affairs at New York University’s Center for Global Affairs. My studies included classes in International Relations, International Law, International Political Economy, Foundations of Transnational Security, Gender in International Affairs, and Energy and the Environment. I began the certificate on campus but continued with most of studies during the pandemic. Needless to say, between work and these classes, I spent a lot of time suspended before a screen in Zoom sessions during COVID.
