Professional Experience: |
|
After working at the International Institute of Boston (IIB) and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) during my undergraduate career, I worked at Michael Page International located in the Chrysler Building in NYC. I was the Immigration Specialist on our Specialized Legal Team. That being said, I worked with legal professionals who specialized within the immigration space.

Education: |
|
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northeastern University in Boston with a BA in International Affairs and a BA in French. I have minors in Political Science and Sociology. I studied abroad in Paris, where I also taught English to French high school students. Towards the end of my college career, I lived in Geneva, Switzerland where I worked at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP), which works closely with the UN. Before this 6-month internship, I participated in a highly competitive study abroad summer program at the UN in Geneva. During these intensive courses, I met with academics, diplomats, and ambassadors and studied the issues of disarmament, demining, nuclear proliferation, environmental change and diplomacy. Prior to my experiences in Geneva, I worked at the International Institute of Boston (IIB) where I managed my client base of refugees, asylees, and immigrants from various parts of Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. After my internships ended, I was hired to work there part-time around my class schedule.
