Summary

I am a driven Human Rights student with hands-on experience turning values into action, from supporting vulnerable families in Armenia to coordinating social projects in Malmö. With a background that bridges social work, cultural understanding, and language proficiency, as well as the arts, I bring strong communication, project management, and relationship-building skills to every role. I thrive in fast-paced, people-focused environments where I can influence positive change, meet real needs, and be part of a supportive and dynamic team that makes an impact.
