What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful humanitarian work.

I am a results-driven professional with extensive experience in project management, international relations, and migration policies. My career has been dedicated to enhancing organizational performance while providing humanitarian assistance and legal advisement to vulnerable populations, including refugees and migrants. I have successfully managed various projects, ensuring compliance with strict data privacy standards and delivering impactful outcomes.

Throughout my tenure at the International Organization for Migration, I have honed my skills in case management and operations, conducting interviews and providing guidance to beneficiaries of resettlement programs. My role involved liaising with embassies and government entities, showcasing my ability to navigate complex international frameworks. I am passionate about human rights and have actively participated in campaigns and initiatives aimed at raising awareness and protecting the rights of migrants.

With a strong academic background in law and strategic administration, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a full-time role focused on human development, where I can contribute to meaningful change and support the mission of organizations dedicated to humanitarian efforts.
