CSR Interest & Background

My knowledge (through my bachelor (honors) degree with a double major in Economics and Political Science) and experience with the social sector have expanded my skill set that is relevant for CSR. Through diverse experiences, I have learnt how to oversee programmatic implementation and analytical aspects of project management and research along with carrying impact analysis of projects. Now, I believe it is the right time for me to acquire more professional experience and work with corporations (CSR) to channel resources towards improving social impact.
