More About: Alma is a fourth year PhD Student in the School of Political Science and International Affairs and a certificate student in International Law--a soon-to-be quadruple dawg, already having two Bachelor's and a Master's! She and her family moved to the United States in 2000 from Germany as refugees of the Bosnian Genocide. This inspired her studies. She has worked with The United Nations, The Carter Center, The Department of State, The Smithsonian Institution, and the Post-Conflict Research Center in Sarajevo, to name a few! Alma always wanted to be a ballroom dancer, but moving here under the conditions she did made it difficult, so finding BPG was a dream come true. When not dancing or teaching dance, Alma enjoys all forms of the arts. She trained in acting and modeling and was an extra in several movies and shows! She sings and taught herself how to play the guitar and piano. She has performed with major Bosnian singers and legends and caught the attention of a Bosnian talent manager at a performance. While being a singer and being an ambassador are her dream jobs, she currently is the Graduate Assistant for the Office of Professional Development and a Starbucks barista who has survived many "Pumpkin Spice" seasons.
