What I'm looking for

I seek remote or international roles where I can apply leadership, coordination, and research skills to support programs, mentorship, and community impact.

I am an organized and motivated student with strong English communication skills and proven leadership in founding and running a nonprofit that empowers women in business. I founded Women Up, led workshops on financial literacy, and currently manage volunteers and interns to deliver programs and mentorship.

My experience includes strategic coordination for a student magazine where I supervised volunteer hours, planned collaborations, and ensured timely content delivery while supporting editorial operations. I represented my school at the United Nations University Global Seminar, conducting research on women’s rights and SDG 16 and presenting findings to academics and peers.

I hold national-level business calculation, bookkeeping, and information processing certifications, and I excel at research, planning, remote work, and content creation. I seek opportunities to gain practical international and remote experience where I can apply my coordination, communication, and leadership skills.
