Presidential Scholars Program

Fun Fact: I like Shrek...a lot.

Hello! My name is Ayana, and I'm from the small yet beautiful country of Kyrgyzstan (though I was born in Russia!). My family and I moved to the U.S. as refugees, which sparked my interest in learning more about international politics and security. I hope to use the PSP program to broaden my worldview, engage in research, and connect with people from diverse backgrounds and interests.
