Summary

I am optimistic and grateful for this opportunity. I am a skilled communicator with experience in fast-paced environments, seeking to transition into a new field. Developed expertise in content creation and media relations within dynamic and collaborative setting. Looking to leverage these transferable skills to drive change and justice in Human Rights in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, my experiences working with underprivileged children and adults, both in the school setting and at YUVA Mauritius, in addition to my independent research have deepened my empathy, sensitivity, and resilience—qualities that underpin my commitment to creating a world where dignity and rights are universally respected. I strive to be a bridge between communities, organizations, and institutions, contributing to a more just and equitable society, while also contributing positively at Dis-Moi.
