Summary

As a master’s student in Sociology with a strong focus on social justice, inequality, and community structure and change, I am eager to apply my academic knowledge and passion for social change to the role of Hate Prevention Intern at the Southern Poverty Law Center. With a foundation in research, critical analysis, and a deep commitment to combating hate and discrimination, I aim to contribute to the development and implementation of strategies that promote inclusion and respect. I am excited to leverage my skills in data analysis, community engagement, and advocacy to support the organization’s mission and gain practical experience in the non-profit sector focused on hate prevention and social impact.
