My name is Ariel. I am a nonprofit professional with over ten years of international experience, focused on supporting internally displaced and at-risk populations. I hold a Master’s Degree in International Relations and Development. My career has been dedicated to expanding access to education. I have been fortunate enough to work with wonderful people around the world – from refugee camps in the Thai-Myanmar border, to Laos and Cambodia as well as Japan, where I collaborated with education ministries to propel impactful programs. My expertise lies in curriculum development, policy writing, fundraising, and communications.
I have developed training manuals and reports for international donors, partner organizations, and foreign governments.
