Vanessa Majella
@vanessamajella
International Law graduate with expertise in legal policy and diplomacy.
What I'm looking for
I am an International Law graduate with a strong foundation in legal policy, multilateral engagement, and international law enforcement coordination. My experience includes working with INTERPOL and UN agencies, where I honed my skills in research, diplomacy, and event management within high-level multicultural environments.
During my internship at INTERPOL, I supported bilateral and multilateral engagements, coordinated logistics for significant events, and drafted essential reports for various UN Conventions. My role involved liaising with over 30 diplomatic missions and foreign ministries, contributing to joint law enforcement initiatives, and enhancing INTERPOL's visibility in UN sessions.
Additionally, my time at the United Nations World Food Programme allowed me to conduct legal analyses on workplace ethics and compensation, while my role with the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network involved managing logistics for youth events and increasing social media engagement. I am committed to supporting global governance and sustainable development through strategic partnerships.
