I seek a position creating and implementing development policies, with a particular focus on gender specific issues. I am an experienced researcher, analyst and writer. After 11 years as an Intellectual Property Litigator, I chose to change fields and return to school for a Master's in International Relations (Development). I look forward to putting these skills to use for a good cause. |
