Kaitlin Robertson
Sydney
Summary
I am a dedicated and diligent undergraduate student at the University of Sydney, currently pursuing my final year in completing a double degree in Arts and Advanced Studies, majoring in Politics and International Relations with a minor in Sociology. My academic journey is driven by a strong commitment to understanding the complex and interconnected dynamics of global governance, international relations, and societal structures. I have developed a particular passion for exploring the role of Europe in global affairs, and I am deeply fascinated by how historical, political, and cultural factors shape the continent’s influence on international policy. I am a committed and hard-working individual, I thrive in collaborative environments and bring strong communication and organisational skills to every team I join. I have built a diverse foundation of experience through internships and volunteer roles across advocacy, communications, and education-focused organisations. These opportunities have sharpened my ability to think critically, adapt quickly, and contribute meaningfully to real-world challenges in the international sphere.
