What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support peacebuilding, community engagement, and conflict prevention—while using strong communication, research, and report-writing skills to deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

I’m an International Relations and Diplomacy graduate with hands-on experience in peacebuilding, conflict management, and community engagement, plus customer service and administrative support experience. I completed a Masters in International Relations (USIU) with a 3.45 GPA and earned a Bachelor of International Relations and Diplomacy (Second Class Upper Division), strengthening my research, stakeholder coordination, and report-writing foundation.

In my current Peace Officer Intern role with the National Steering Committee for Peace Building and Conflict Management, I assist in coordinating peacebuilding and conflict prevention activities at community and county levels, support Early Warning and Early Response (EWER) systems by collecting and documenting conflict information, and prepare reports, briefs, and field documentation. I’ve also supported mediation and dialogue processes, organized peace meetings, trainings, and workshops, and monitored and reported emerging conflict trends and security concerns; previously, I delivered fast-paced customer support through email/chat/phone (including CRM updates), managed live chat conversations, and created social media content across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
