Policy assistant regarding security, European policy and congress planningDuring a six-month internship, I gained experience with regards to various passenger information systems, security in aviation and European and Dutch security issues and policy. I co-wrote policy proposals, advisory pieces, talking points for speeches and actual speeches for high-level meetings. Moreover, I helped organize several seminars and an international three-day symposium on the use of passenger information to prevent terrorist travel. My work for these meetings was both content driven and of a more organizing sort.

During this short period, I initiated a marketing campaign for various Bachelors and Masters given at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Amsterdam. This campaign was aimed primarily at potential new students outside of the university and involved designing hard copy promotion material, touring Dutch high schools and education fairs and starting a social media campaign aimed at foreign students and Dutch high school students.

During the last year of my employment I regularly lead a multi-head bar or wardrobe team during concerts and events.
