Summary
I am a professional experienced in the Middle East environment, seeking a career shift from governmental sector to humanitarian field. Strongly identifying with UNHCR’s core values, I believe that my diplomatic background and field of expertise (external relations, communication, consular affairs, crisis management), personal skills and cultural sensitivity can contribute to the organization’s growth, allowing me at the same time to fulfill myself professionally.
