My name is Graham, and I'm a junior from Boston studying International Relations. I'm interested in global affairs, economic policy, and international law. Outside of academics, I love rock climbing, reggaeton music, and exploring new neighborhoods in Philly.
When I first got to Penn, I wasn’t sure how to get involved in research or if there was even a place for someone with my background. It took some trial and error to figure things out, but the experience has been one of the most valuable parts of my time here. Research is much more than a great addition to your CV: it's a way to deepen your interests, build meaningful connections, and contribute to something larger. I’m happy to talk about finding opportunities, connecting with faculty, or anything else you’re wondering about. Feel free to reach out!
