Joy Ngige
A recent graduate from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) with a degree in International Relations, I am passionate about fostering global cooperation and understanding. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in international politics, diplomacy, and conflict resolution, complemented by hands-on experience through internships and projects focused on sustainable development and human rights advocacy. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to apply my research, analysis, and communication skills to contribute meaningfully to international organizations or NGOs.
Beyond academics, I am deeply committed to community engagement and cultural exchange, believing diverse perspectives are essential for addressing today’s global challenges. My time at CUEA has honed my analytical abilities and instilled in me a strong ethical framework rooted in service and leadership. As I embark on my professional journey, I am excited to leverage my education and experiences to promote peace and development on a global scale.
