What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an NGO role where I can lead and deliver projects with real social impact—especially on youth rights, human rights, LGBT+, and prevention of hate speech—while using my project management and communication strengths to support measurable outcomes.

I’m an ambitious NGO volunteer and activist with over 10 years of experience and a certified project manager credential from the U.S. Embassy. I build my work around education, dedication, and results—especially through project writing and implementation.

I’ve served as office manager and project manager in youth and NGO settings, and I’ve also worked as a certified trainer for providing first aid and resuscitation. I founded my own youth organization focused on human rights, youth rights, LGBT+, peer violence, and prevention of hate speech, and I’ve managed work with partners including the National Endowment for Democracy.
