2021
Academic Consultant
Amnesty International Netherlands,
Leiden University
As an academic consultant, I worked together with a team of International Studies students to examine the public, political, and media narratives that frame refugees as a threat or burden to Dutch society. We identified the main factors that constitute or reinforce such narratives and help make them “successful” - that is, widespread and commonly accepted as true. The aim of this research was to help Amnesty International understand how they can utilize these factors to create positive narratives about refugees (and other vulnerable groups) to counter these negative ones and promote the human rights of refugees.

Intern
High Atlas Foundation (Marrakesh)
As an intern at the HAF, I dedicated most of my time to writing (semi-)academic articles, compiling a list of potential sponsors and organizations that the HAF could partner with, and attending field trips and community meetings in order to help further advance their women’s empowerment program. I was also responsible for proofreading and preparing social media content, newsletters, short articles, as well as for external communication with potential partners and sponsors.
