Asri Asfera

I am a third year Social Research Public Policy and Psychology major at New York University Abu Dhabi. I am currently seeking a summer internship in the field of policy analysis, where I can apply my skills and interests to support organizations that are committed to advancing social justice and equity.

Specifically, I am interested in internships that would allow me to explore the intersection of gender, culture, and policy in the context of higher education. I am confident, passionate and equipped me with the necessary quantitative and qualitative skills to conduct rigorous policy analysis and research.

If you happen to know of any relevant internship opportunities available, please let me know!

In my professional experience, I have served as an intern at Edelman Middle East Company, where I conducted research on target media organizations for the prestigious Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. Additionally, I played a vital role in creating and organizing social media content and served as a key event coordinator for the conference. Concurrently, I have been a research assistant at the Teaching Learning and Development Lab at NYUAD, focusing on analyzing expatriate teachers' stress levels using specialized software like Mindware and providing quantitative and qualitative analysis support with Stata. Furthermore, as an Admin & Logistics Student Assistant in the Office of Social Responsibility at NYUAD, I assessed social media engagement, organized campus integration events, and contributed to the planning of educational and social programs for the NYUAD community, demonstrating a diverse skill set and dedication to various roles in my professional journey.

I completed a highly relevant three-month internship at the Institution of International Education, where I served as an Assistant Presidential Mentor. During this internship, I gained valuable experience and skills in mentoring and supporting international students. This hands-on training equipped me with the knowledge and expertise necessary to assist and guide students effectively, making it a significant and applicable part of my professional development.
