Bio

I am an Ethiopian Canadian who currently is pursuing a Bachelors Advanced degree in Sociology. My interest in Sociology stems from the need to understand how individuals affect systems and vice versa; this need to understand the configuration of interactional modes, guides my passion for conducting research. I am a very outgoing individual, but I do love observing how other groups within systems interact.

Work experience

Research Assistant
University Of Manitoba Centre for Human Rights Research

IVHQ Volunteer Abroad
International Volunteer Headquarters
Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
April 2019 - May 2019

After my Winter term 2019 studies, I had volunteered abroad, based in Bali. My work emphasized education, in which I worked with students learning English. I found this work to be quite influential on my experience with other cultures, allowing myself to be placed somewhere new while learning the norms and standards conducted by the specific cultures in Bali. My worldview opened up only when I had placed myself in a country that had different set of belief systems, values, and interactive forms. I find this to be of skill as I am able to be flexible and learn in new situations.

Justice 4 Black Live Winnipeg Organization
May 2020 - October 2020

My colleagues and I had founded the Justice 4 Black Lives Winnipeg, a grassroots foundation, it was based on the injustices that black people face in Winnipeg and globally; in order to better serve the community, we had allocated donations and community services that would best serve the needs of the community. Our work focused on protests, fundraisers, as well as community group volunteering. We have also been in direct contact with families of victims and provided them with monetary support. Though the organization still remains, I had to resign in order to give due attention to my studies.
