Elena Askew-Renaut Roig

Madrid

Summary

I am a trilingual French, Spanish, and British national, and an ambitious 17-year-old with a rich background in leadership and civic engagement. Driven to study political sciences, I have a track record of addressing educational inequality, advocating for human rights, and championing gender equality. My diverse experiences, from volunteering in Madrid's underserved districts to analyzing geopolitical issues, have honed my analytical and diplomatic skills. My goal is to reform global political systems, aspiring to a future with the United Nations' OHCHR, where I plan to further my commitment to creating equitable educational opportunities and advancing gender equality.
