As a MENA intern at the Coalition for the International Criminal Court, I monitored and researched political reforms and human rights developments within the region, particularly with respect on the Palestinian bid for UN State membership and ICC investigation of Palestine and Libya. As a research assistant at Marymount Manhattan International Studies and Rutgers University Center for Middle Eastern Studies, I conducted work on the evolving human rights policies in the Arab region in collaboration with human rights organizations and universities. In addition, I have been responsible for a wide range of activities, including organizing round tables and conferences; writing press materials; meeting and working with human rights activists in office headquarters; organizing extensive databases of national, regional, and international journalists and press contact information. I also have experience in public speaking.
