Summary
I am a fresh graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I bring reliability and attentiveness to every task, always striving for excellence and optimal results. My international experience in Africa and Canada has equipped me to adapt to diverse situations, making me a versatile and multifaceted individual. Furthermore, my intersectional identity as a person of color and a woman has significantly contributed to my ability to adapt effectively. I am deeply interested in sustainability, international development, and global affairs, and I aim to deepen my understanding of how these crucial fields intersect on a global scale.
