Résumé

A highly motivated Master's student with specific knowledge in international affairs, public policy, and justice issues, my research interests lie in international human rights frameworks, sustainable development, refugee and migration issues, and multilateral institutions. Through a variety of academic and professional experiences, I have cultivated strong research, planning, and interpersonal networking skills. Coming out of a US-based global governance program and professional experience with the UN in 2020, I'm excited to pursue full-time opportunities and a potential return to Europe in early 2021.

Presently, I am working with the United Nations Capital Development Fund to analyze grant proposals for small to medium scale local development projects in LEDCs and manage a team of graduate student reviewers from the University at Albany as part of the UNCDF-Rockefeller College partnership program. My analysis and recommendations are presented and discussed at local development investment committee meetings.
