What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my legal expertise and commitment to human rights, ideally in a collaborative and impactful environment.

I am a highly organized and detail-oriented professional with a diverse background as a jurist and consultant. My experience spans various roles, including my current position as a Trilingual Consulting Analyst at Vaco for Google, where I analyze and process deliverables while identifying locale-specific trends in English, French, and Arabic. My commitment to quality and consistency in policy adherence has been pivotal in my career.

Previously, I worked with the International Organization for Migration in Morocco, focusing on the protection of unaccompanied and separated migrant children. I have also coordinated protection working groups for the Moroccan Organization for Human Rights and the UNHCR, advocating for asylum rights and refugee protection. My legal expertise is complemented by my academic background, including a Master’s in International Law and extensive training in human rights and migration law.
