I spent my last two years studying in Germany, Norway, and South Africa, learning about different theories, historical contexts, and research methods for a future career in a migration-related field. I wrote my master’s dissertation looking at societal transformation through social and political remittances and understandings of Eritrean transnational networks, for which I conducted qualitative field research in Eritrea, in Norway, and in Germany.

Activist by nature, academic by experience.

Having lived and worked in eight countries, I am an experienced traveler who enjoys learning about new cultures, meeting new people, and getting lost in new cities and towns.

My recent work experience includes a Strategic Communications internship with Seefar Enterprise (remote position) and working as a Communications Consultant for the University of Oldenburg in Germany. I also volunteer as a teacher for ReDI School of Digital Integration, teaching UX to women of migrant and ethnic minority backgrounds.

My hobbies include wandering around museums, reading, learning new skills, and finding cool things on the internet.

I have an interest in bridging academia and activism. I’m passionate about:
– human rights,
– humanitarianism,
– migration studies,
– diasporas and integration,
– refugee protection, and
– irregular migration.
