Recent graduate with a Master's in International Public Policy.
What I'm looking for
I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in International Public Policy from University College Cork. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of global issues, particularly in the realm of migration and social integration. My dissertation focused on how the United States can engage in regional collaboration to address the root causes of Northern Triangle migration, emphasizing the importance of educational and social initiatives.
In my professional experience, I have honed my skills in policy research, program coordination, and youth development. As an Auxiliar de Conversación in Spain, I designed and delivered interactive English lessons, fostering cultural exchange and enhancing students' language skills. Additionally, my role as a Student Manager at La Salle University allowed me to lead a team in exceeding fundraising goals, demonstrating my ability to motivate and manage diverse groups effectively.
