Roles and service

United Nations, IIIM on Syria, Remote (Geneva)

A six-month internship with the Information Systems Management Section. The work combined open-source research on Syria with the information management that has to sit behind it: source verification, structured documentation of findings, and analytical reporting written for colleagues who needed to act on it rather than read around it.

On the technical side I worked in Python and Jupyter on data cleaning and analysis, and on reproducibility, making sure a result could be regenerated from its inputs rather than taken on trust. I also completed the IIIM Open Source Investigations Training Programme during the placement.

United Nations Volunteers with UNRCO Syria, Remote

A twelve-week assignment with the UN Resident Coordinator's Office in Syria, supporting the national “No More Mines” campaign on explosive ordnance risk. Ten hours a week on amplification and outreach for a recovery priority that touches return, land use and civilian casualties directly.

United Nations Volunteers (UNV), Remote

Recognised by UNV for contributing to the “Big Listen” global campaign and survey, delivered in collaboration with the UN Secretariat on Youth, Peace and Security.
