What I'm looking for

I’m seeking research positions where I can apply my knowledge, contribute to evidence-based work, and gain practical experience.

At YouthDevelopmentLabs(YLabs), I conducted field visits, documented participant responses, and recorded notes during interviews. I also transcribed and translated participant statements while maintaining their meaning and context.

As a Project design intern at Ministryof WomenandSocialAffairs, I researched and contributed to project proposals, plans, and implementation strategies. I’m looking to apply my sociology and social anthropology background in research positions and contribute to evidence-based work.
