What I'm looking for

I seek a role in human rights or development where I can coordinate projects, support evidence-based policy work, grow into program leadership, and work within a collaborative, mission-driven team.

I am a driven political science graduate and project assistant with hands-on experience in human rights, NGO project support, and technical customer service for a major tech brand. I have supported project planning, reporting, budgeting and stakeholder coordination while contributing to mental health advocacy and student-led initiatives.

Multilingual and adaptable, I combine research and policy analysis skills with practical program implementation, CRM and office-suite proficiency. I am committed to advancing social change through collaborative, evidence-based project work and community engagement.
