Dedicated humanitarian professional with expertise in refugee assistance.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated humanitarian professional with extensive experience in providing support to refugees and migrants. My journey began with a strong foundation in psychology, which I applied in various roles, including as a Protection Field Assistant and Project Assistant. I have honed my skills in data collection, case management, and communication, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive the assistance they need.
Throughout my career, I have worked closely with NGOs and international organizations, facilitating access to essential services for refugees. My ability to navigate complex bureaucratic systems has enabled me to assist individuals in legalizing their residency and employment in Poland. I take pride in my commitment to upholding the dignity and rights of those I serve, and I continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills in monitoring and evaluation.
