What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and allows me to leverage my communication skills to make a positive impact.

I am a dedicated communications advisor with extensive experience in strategic and operational communication, particularly within humanitarian organizations. My role at UNHCR Netherlands involved developing and implementing communication policies, managing cross-cutting projects, and ensuring effective liaison with various stakeholders. I take pride in my ability to enhance interdepartmental relationships and drive impactful communication strategies.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led initiatives that increased trust in UNHCR among the Dutch population by 7% over four years. I have also been recognized for my contributions to fundraising communications, where I focused on creating compelling content that resonated with diverse audiences. My analytical skills and proficiency in project management have enabled me to deliver high-quality results consistently.
