Founder at Ilkmade

I created Ilkmade as a way for people who are passionate about International Relations and Politics to connect more meaningfully on questions regarding career development. Unlike traditional industries like business or law, ours lacks the mentorship programs that help individuals in those fields grow and thrive. No one is expected to figure it out all by themselves.

Ilkmade Sessions

An avenue to vision board, map out your career path, and ask the tough questions with someone who’s been there. We have a large, diverse community of Politics and Policy Experts who have the experience and perspective to help you grow and explore at any stage in your career.
