What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine advocacy, research, and teaching—using AI and social policy to support clients, drive community solutions, and train future social workers.

I am a criminal justice and social policy advocate with a strong foundation in social work and research, focused on applying AI in education to drive community empowerment and reduce crime. I have practical field experience across schools, healthcare, and workplace safety, and I contributed to undergraduate research on AI awareness among university students.

I have served in student governance and leadership roles, organized skills-building webinars, and worked as a research assistant supporting literature reviews, questionnaire design, and data collection. I seek roles that bridge advocacy, practice and academia where I can provide direct legal-system support, develop technology-infused solutions, and mentor the next generation of social work professionals.
