Nicolas Katusenko

I am a motivated Political Science graduate enthusiastic about matters of Defense, Security, International Organization, and International Law. 

I am also a three-times Dean's Honour Roll recipient, and an alumnus of the 2022 NATO Field School and Simulation Program: an intensive political science program which has provided me with hands-on learning experiences at NATO Headquarters, SHAPE, EU Military Staff HQ, European External Action Services, and NATO Strategic Communications Center of Excellence and the Canadian Delegation to the European Union.

I have been accepted into the University of Glasgow's MSc Global Security programme as of February 2023, and am seeking work from now until I begin my studies this upcoming September.

Last summer, I had participated in the NATO Field School and Simulation program, where I had been trained in communication, diplomacy, and analysis by world-leading experts at NATO, SHAPE, and the EEAS. These practical studies involved simulations in problem-solving, decision-making, and consensus-building held at the NATO Defense College in Rome.

Additionally, I hold 1 year of clerical experience working at a Canada Post retail branch, where I learned to meet the demands of a high-volume, customer service role whilst balancing regulatory and policy requirements. Tasks included processing documents, sorting mail, preparing transfers, and dealing directly with clients.

Furthermore, throughout 2022 I had overseen a student organization with approximately 2000 members, where I had been deeply involved in creating action plans and fostering community engagement. This involved coordinating in-person and online events, designing banners and flyers, and leading announcements on social media.

In 2022, I completed a BA in Political Science at Simon Fraser University, where I was a three-time recipient of the Dean's Honour Roll award.

Recently, I have been accepted into the University of Glasgow's (UK) MSc Global Security program, which is anticipated to end in September 2024.
