My academic and practical foundation with the United Nations and other international organizations has equipped me with a solid understanding of security concepts, conflict analysis, and risk assessment, which has allowed me to apply these theories in real-world scenarios, enabling me to develop a keen sense of judgment and analytical skills necessary for identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities to ensure staff safety. My professional experiences have refined my ability to work within multicultural teams, adapt to dynamic environments, and find effective solutions to complex challenges. One of my most significant strengths is my proficiency in Risk Assessment, Crisis Management, and intelligence analysis.
