Hello! My name is Charlene, a second year Politics & International Relations student. I am originally from Ghana, but I have lived in London for about 5 years now, having done my GCSEs and A Levels here in the UK. I love to read, I love to write and have chill days cuddled up on my bed with a blanket watching Netflix. I love to get involved at uni so I work for the University as a student ambassador and also for the Students Union as a school and course rep. Please note that although I am Ghanaian, I am unfamiliar with the ucas application process from outside the UK since I did my secondary qualifications here in the UK. That being said, happy to chat to you all!

Politics and International Relations BA Honours
As a first-generation immigrant, born in Italy to Bangladeshi parents and raised in the UK, my perspective on international relations was shaped from a young age by diverse background. This unique background, situated at the crossroads of different identities, ignited a deep-seated passion for politics and international relations. I was driven not only by a curiosity about global affairs but also by a clear recognition of the underrepresentation of people who look like me in these fields. This realisation solidified my ambition to pursue a career where I can contribute a much-needed voice.
My professional aspirations are firmly set on a career within the UK Civil Service, specifically targeting the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). I am an ambitious student, actively seeking to expand my practical experiences within the diplomatic sphere to build a strong foundation for this path. My interests extend beyond the theoretical; I have a genuine passion for connecting with people through the exploration of new cultures, which I actively pursue through a love of travel and culinary discovery. I am eager to leverage my unique background, drive, and cultural curiosity to contribute meaningfully to the field of diplomacy.
