Worked full-time in two main, interrelated capacities within the temporary occupation "Mona" in Brussels. Firstly, I contributed to the on-the-ground logistics and social work involved with how the occupation runs on a daily basis (e.g., helping visitors navigate, restocking the bathrooms and kitchen, cleaning communal spaces, remodeling rooms to make them suitable for our uses, cooking communal meals, constructing signage and furniture, and many more tasks which came about spontaneously). Secondly, I took the helm on researching the legal and logistical steps we would have to take in order to facilitate the establishment of housing at Mona, as well as what partner organization we could work with to coordinate it and how we could convince the owner to allow us to pursue housing. This aspect involved the reading of dense legal texts, understanding local regulations, and report this information in clear, concise, and accessible formats. My French language skills were greatly improved through this internship, as well as my ability to report accessibly on urban issues. My research skills, written and verbal communication skills, organizational skills, critical thinking skills, multitasking skills, and public speaking skills were all exercised and refined in this internship.

Worked with around 30 youth from all over the world to craft a new online educational platform (a ‘pluriversity’) emphasizing indigenous knowledges outside of prevailing Western frameworks. Facilitated collaboration on R&R's community-based projects through workshops, speakers, and biweekly meetings focusing on environmental justice, ethnic self-determination, sovereignty, and decolonizing knowledge.Took on a leadership position which, aside from leading meetings and coordinating internship-wide communication, involved interviewing new potential interns.
