Project Manager, Writer, and Volunteer in Québec, Canada
I studied in Political Science (Bachelor Degree), Communication (Bachelor Degree) at Université Laval. I am currently doing a Graduate degree in Communication as well as some pre-MBA courses in order to do a MBA in International Development Management . With courses on Human Rights, War, Extreme Poverty, Economy etc, my goal is to lead large international development programs and projects in not-for-profit organizations. I have a special interest in Near East as well as Afghanistan and Iran.
I am not a nightclub rat, I am a very gentle and calm person. I enjoy Classical Music, playing music (cello, Indian tabla), learning music, Creative Writing, cooking, making DIY crafts, yoga, museums especially Contemporary Art, reading and sport (skiing, swimming,running, hiking, baseball, snowboarding - mostly swimming though. I swim a LOT!), going at restaurant with friends or just staying at home watching a movie. Since 2008 I am very into Iranian, Persian and Afghan music and it has had a huge impact on my profesionnal goals.
I am also very involved in my community, in politics (Liberal Party of Canada; Liberal Party of Quebec) and in many associations (Red Cross, Habitat For Humanity, Unicef, Amnesty International, Islamic Relief, Dalai Lama Institute for Peace and Education).
Making a difference in the world is a fundamental value that drives my life.
I am extremely organized, detail- oriented, and determined, all with a smile on my face! I am professional, upbeat, reliable, trustworthy, enthusiastic, and I take my responsibilities seriously.
I am not looking for job opportunities abroad and I will kindly decline those I receive, thanks in advance for your understanding.
Don’t hesitate to write to me, I will reply to you as soon as I can. I am visiting California this Winter. Let’s have a coffee if you want to collaborate with me.
Thank you.
