Welcome to a collection of essays that survived countless all-nighters, too much coffee, and a fair share of existential crises.

Spanning both my undergrad in European Studies at the University of Limerick—where I explored law, politics, history, sociology, and Spanish—and masters in Crisis and Security Management with a focus on War and Peace Studies from Leiden University, these pieces represent the evolution of my academic journey. From late-night epiphanies to "Did I really write this at 3 AM?" moments, this portfolio is proof that creativity, caffeine, and a bit of chaos can get you a long way.

Dive in and enjoy the journey—no late-night study sessions required!
