Hafsah Ba-Yunus
@hafsahba-yunus
Executive assistant and research-focused linguistics student with multilingual strengths.
What I'm looking for
I’m a linguistics student at Stony Brook University with hands-on experience supporting operations, processing data accurately, and working closely with teams to deliver results. I bring a detail-first mindset from roles like Executive Assistant and from internship work that required careful organization of information.
In my administrative experience, I maintained records and files aligned with federal and state regulations, ensured accurate and timely processing of accounting data, and supported workplace protocols to keep teams organized and effective. Earlier, I handled front-facing customer and medical-professional interactions as a Cashier, including reconciled insurance information and inventory management.
I’m also deeply engaged in language and community work through internships such as the Algonquin Language Revitalization Project, where I tag and categorize library data and learned to promote the Algonquian language. I enjoy connecting with people, organizing events, and contributing to research and social-issue discussions with accountability and professionalism.
