History was an integral part of my international relations training at the undergraduate and graduate levels. My strengths are European history and modern American history, particularly diplomatic history. I also have a strong background in political science and comparative politics.

Political Science
I have BA and MA degrees in international relations from top universities. These included many political science courses. Topics covered included foundations of political analysis, comparative politics, international development and security policy, plus regional studies in Europe, Africa and Latin America. I can guide students from political philosophy to modern political analysis to international issues of all kinds.
Writing
I have a versatile background in academic and professional writing. My undergraduate and graduate degrees required numerous term papers plus two full-length thesis papers. In government I drafted a full range of memos, press releases, proposals and reports. I am also certified in SAT/ACT Reading/Writing/Essay sections.
Whatever format you need to write in, I can help you get it right.
