What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and strategic partnerships in international relations.

I am an accomplished expert in international relations and public affairs with over a decade of experience in diplomatic missions. My career has been marked by a commitment to strategic public diplomacy, where I have successfully forged partnerships with influential organizations and managed significant projects. At the Canadian Climate Institute, I served as the Public Affairs Manager, where I led the organization of Canada's largest annual climate change conference, attracting over 1,500 attendees and featuring prominent speakers. My ability to coordinate complex tasks and engage with diverse stakeholders has been pivotal in achieving impactful outcomes.

Previously, as the Public Engagement Manager at the U.S. Mission to the UAE, I advanced U.S. foreign policy interests through innovative programs focused on mutual issues such as climate change and women's empowerment. My efforts in organizing over 50 programs and managing a substantial grant portfolio of $700,000 have significantly enhanced U.S.-UAE relations. Recognized with multiple awards for my contributions, I pride myself on my strong communication skills and my ability to navigate the complexities of international diplomacy effectively.
