About
General
I am a Global Communicator. Professionally, my interests intersect at social justice, communications/ journalism and global politics. I have studied the Spanish, Indonesian, and Chinese languages, and have lived, studied, and worked in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and China. Internships with NGO’s domestically and abroad have given me a comprehensive understanding of global human rights issues as well as considerable experience with network building and collaboration within the human rights community. I have maintained a website, published writings internationally, and maintain an active global network. I have a Bachelors degree in Global Studies and Communications from the University of Minnesota, from which I graduated with Honors.
I am detail-oriented yet an accomplished multi-tasker, able to function flexibly in various modalities while staying focused on the job that needs to be done. I thrive on interacting with diverse groups and strive to effectively communicate in all situations. I aim continuously to educate myself and explore new areas of knowledge and life. My interests include writing, traveling, listening to and playing music, language, and my family and friends.
