Netherlands
I am currently open to opportunities that allow me to apply my expertise while further developing my skills in areas related to governance, policy, sustainability, human rights, or international development. I have a Master's in Politics with a specialization in Global Environmental Governance, Sustainability, and Climate Change from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I am passionate about international law and human rights. I devoted two years to part-time research in international law, contributing to the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition (2018-2019). I also served as a legal advisor, providing essential support to women facing VAW, GBV, and inheritance-related cases in Afghanistan. In the Netherlands, I volunteered for three months at the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA), supporting newcomers in their integration process. Alongside my studies, I worked as a commercial assistant and later joined Stellar Travel Supplies B.V. in the same role. These experiences strengthened my communication, coordination, leadership, management, and teamwork abilities, which I consider invaluable in my professional development. To further broaden my experience during my master's studies, I also volunteered as a social counselor at VluchtelingenWerk.
