I am a hardworking professional with a thirst for knowledge. I always seek to understand how things work and I have a strong determination and desire for growth and new challenges. I hold a Master's degree in Sociology, with over five years of research experience in the areas of education, media, and development. I am in the process of completing a doctorate degree, with an expertise in knowledge synthesis and translation. I am passionate about Canadian and international affairs, cultural consultancy and diplomacy, diversity and inclusion, gender equality, and community building. I am excited to work with an encouraging team and further my career with think tanks, non-profit, and government.As an analytical, insights driven researcher with expertise in qualitative and document analysis, I always seek to understand every angle of a situation. Most recently I was an Analyst at Universalia where I used my knowledge of the international education sector to analyze trends, patterns and themes, and collect data for the final report. I move projects forward with insightful ideas and solutions which I enjoy accomplishing with a team. As a critical thinker, I seek to weave elements together to write and tell a story with an implementable vision. I am an enthusiastic professional and academic who genuinely enjoys thinking and social engagement, and won’t give up when the going gets tough! I enjoy film photography, and am an avid reader with a cat by my side who I often cathart life’s challenges to.
