I am a Master’s student in Political Science at the University of Lausanne, with a strong focus on social policy, human rights, and global affairs. I specialise in in-depth research and analysis, with a particular interest in turning complex topics into clear, structured, and accessible insights for a wide audience. I have hands-on experience conducting cross-disciplinary research, building and maintaining research databases, and supporting projects in public affairs and civil society. She has worked on international conferences, policy briefs, and analytical reports, which required synthesising information from diverse, reliable sources and presenting it in a clear, logically organised format. Highly curious and detail-oriented, I enjoy exploring a wide range of subjects, from finance, business, and technology to psychology, history, geopolitics, and social issues, and am comfortable quickly familiarising myself with technical or unfamiliar topics. My background in academic and NGO research has trained me to work with accuracy, rigorous sourcing, and careful referencing, making me well-suited to producing high-quality research documents for content creation. I am particularly motivated by roles that sit at the intersection of research, storytelling, and public understanding, and I bring strong organisational skills, independence, and consistency to long-term collaborative projects.
