Nurin A'liyah Iskandar
Summary
As an Undergraduate of Public Policy and Global Affairs, my interests lie in International Relations, especially the Middle East, and Policy Making. Passionate and inquisitive about the world, I have participated extensively in various conferences and dialogues since secondary school. I pride myself in my communication and organizational skills, both of which are essential in event planning and my leadership appointments. I work well in fast-paced and challenging environments, and I am highly resilient in the face of adversity. My strong interpersonal skills can be attributed to my years of serving the community. People find me extremely approachable and dependable, a testament that I am capable of working in a team. Ultimately, I hope to pursue a career in the public sector after graduation as I find the most meaning in impacting people's lives positively.
