What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and strategic impact in public policy.

I am a dedicated and highly motivated professional with a strong academic foundation in Public Policy and International Affairs. My journey has equipped me with a unique blend of educational achievements and practical experience in fast-paced, high-responsibility international environments. I am fluent in Spanish, English, and French, and I am willing to travel or relocate for opportunities that align with my career aspirations.

Currently, I serve as an Immigration Virtual Case Assistant, where I manage multiple concurrent I-130 petitions, ensuring timely submissions and optimizing case-management workflows. My efforts have led to significant improvements in client satisfaction and efficiency, including a 30% reduction in re-requests and a 95% client satisfaction rate. My previous roles, including a Paralegal and an intern at the Consulate General of Colombia, have further honed my skills in legal research, document preparation, and client communication.

With a Master of Science in Public Policy from the University of Bristol and a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, I am well-prepared to tackle complex challenges in the field. I am passionate about fostering cooperation and strategic alliances, and I am eager to contribute my skills and insights to an organization that values innovation and impact.
