This website is my Final Project for Master of Art in International Security Studies at University of Arizona. You will find out something about me, some writing samples and an academic synthesis of this program.
Beyond all these are many, many hours of work with wonderful professors who taught me that each minute spent reading, listening, or writing helps us on the path of knowledge and excellence. I enjoyed every day of the ISS program and I loved the diversity of teaching styles and professors.
What I’m taking with me, in my future professional journey, is what they gave me on each class I had: a new perspective and a new sense of responsibility.
The courses I chose in the program and what I learned you discover in this website. You can also see, in a short video, how world was changed by different events since 2013 when I started the Program.
Also there is what I named a Funny Statistics of the program. I counted almost every word I wrote and read, so you can have the dimension of my work.
Anyway, even if this looks terrifying, If I could go back in time, I would start the ISS program, again.

Since I started the International Security Studies program the World was hit by regional wars, terrorism and crises.
My TV colleagues selected some images of what happened. The video shows the pain, the terror, and the tears. Beyond all this remains the hope…
