Professional Experience:

I am an enthusiastic professional with more than 5 years experience in community development in the Government and Non-Profit Organization sectors. I worked for 2 years in Indonesian Consulate General in New York providing consular case management services across a wide range of case categories for Indonesian citizens within the mission consular jurisdiction of New York.
Prior to that, I spent more than 5 years working for difference non-profit organizations. I served as a multimedia officer at Yayasan Cipta Mandiri, a local non-profit organization that provides training and education for young people who come from underprivileged backgrounds. I provided training and planning projects, which enabled them to improve their skills that they can use to find suitable opportunities for employment or further education. A project recently I worked with them was “Kids Cleaning up Bogor” funded by Direct Aid Program (DAP) under the authority of the Australian Ambassador to Indonesia. This project aimed at developing an interactive educational and awareness about the effects of litter on Bogor’s environment targeted at school children.
I have also one year experience working for Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) based in Bogor as Photo and Video Assistant. I managed and organize metadata for photo and video catalogue databases and system operation for CIFOR gallery.
