I turn global policy research into clear, evidence-based analysis and actionable written recommendations.

What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level remote role where I can use research, writing, policy analysis, and cross-cultural communication skills to make an immediate impact.

I've conducted independent Global Affairs research at George Mason University, analyzing women's rights policy across three political regimes in Afghanistan using peer-reviewed sources and reports from UN Women, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International.

I apply structured coding, cross-referencing, and comparative-historical analysis to legal, educational, and socioeconomic policy documents. I also authored a research paper using the 4Rs humanitarian framework to identify gaps in the U.S. refugee resettlement system and propose evidence-based improvements.

My customer-facing work at Sons & Daughters Academy, Burkes Outlet Beall's, and Cracker Barrel strengthened my ability to manage competing priorities, communicate clearly, solve problems, and support teams under pressure.

I'm completing a BA in Global Affairs with concentrations in Global Inequalities & Responses and Global Governance, and I bring multilingual communication in Urdu, Punjabi, and Hindi to remote, research-focused work.
