What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a mission-driven organization that values social impact and community empowerment.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in community advocacy, cross-cultural communication, and humanitarian work. My journey has been marked by a commitment to supporting marginalized communities, particularly the Rohingya, through effective project coordination and stakeholder engagement. I thrive in environments that prioritize social impact and inclusion, and I am passionate about leveraging my skills to foster positive change.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my abilities in interpretation and project management. As a Co-Director at the Rohingya Youth Support Network, I led initiatives aimed at empowering refugee youth, while also mentoring team members to enhance collaboration and professional growth. My work with organizations like the International Rescue Committee and the International Organization for Migration has further solidified my expertise in facilitating communication and providing support to refugees during critical transitions.

My educational background in law, combined with my hands-on experience in humanitarian settings, equips me with a unique perspective on the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. I am committed to advocating for their rights and ensuring their voices are heard in decision-making processes. I look forward to contributing my skills and passion to organizations that share my vision for a more inclusive and equitable world.
