What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my office administration, qualitative research, documentation, and stakeholder coordination experience in a collaborative, mission-driven organization.

I've coordinated office operations at Matrickz GmbH in Germany, supporting daily administration, Lexoffice bookkeeping tasks, and employee salary transfers.

My research experience includes work with the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies, UNDP Bangladesh, and the Institute of Micro Finance. I coordinated climate-change conference activities, COP 17 preparation and follow-up, donor and partner communication, research reporting, and field-data validation.

I've also taught undergraduate Environmental Science, Climate Change, Population and Urbanization, and Health and Society at Independent University, Bangladesh.

With academic training in Development Studies, Disaster Management and Sustainable Development, and Environmental Science and Management, I bring qualitative research, documentation, stakeholder coordination, and data-analysis capability to mission-driven work.
