Malvern East,Australia

Summary

Motivated and globally-minded Bachelor of International Studies student at RMIT University, with a strong academic foundation in international governance, migration, and human rights. I bring experience in conducting meaningful, cross-cultural research projects and have developed strong skills in policy analysis, report writing, and critical thinking. Known for my collaborative spirit and clear communication, I thrive in diverse team environments and am passionate about contributing to community development and inclusive, evidence-based policy solutions. Fluent in both French and English, I bring a global perspective and a deep commitment to social justice.

As part of my degree, I am required to complete a 35-day global internship, designed to provide hands-on, real-world experience in a different cultural context. These internships are typically unpaid, and I take full responsibility for organising travel and accommodation. I am eager to contribute my research skills, cross-cultural insight, and dedication to social impact toward meaningful projects that support your organisation’s mission. Whether assisting in policy development, communication strategies, or research initiatives, I am ready to learn and contribute with enthusiasm, professionalism, and purpose.
