What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in governance and human rights, focusing on impactful projects within a collaborative and supportive environment.

I am a bilingual psychologist with a Master's degree in Governance and Human Rights, dedicated to making a positive impact through my work in case management and public policy development. My extensive experience in NGOs and government entities has equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate complex social issues and advocate for vulnerable populations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed a caseload of unaccompanied minors, ensuring their rights and access to services are upheld. My work has involved leading social research projects, authoring investigative articles, and collaborating on grant proposals aimed at addressing gender-based violence and human trafficking. I am passionate about using my skills in project management, legal advocacy, and psychological support to drive meaningful change.
