Additional Information

As an anthropologist, I am equipped with the skills of conducting ethnographic research, which involves qualitative skills and participant observation. These skills help me in understanding policies, developmental policies, business strategy, and the rest.
Furthermore, I aim to build a career in nonprofit/NGO organizations or where my skills are highly needed. One of which is migration, as it involves understanding the religious and cultural implications embedded in migration policies and migrants' precarity.
