My role as a student consultant for Google was to lead a team of 10 other student consultants focusing on expansion possibilities for Google’s recently launched Digital Workshop, and advising on strategic partnerships in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands. Tasks included scheduling and coordinating meetings, maintaining up-to-date project files/team communications/databases, delivering intermediate reports and a final project.

Qualified Mediator in Conflict Resolution
-
2009 - 2014
Conflict resolution encompasses methods and processes involved in facilitating the peaceful ending of conflict and retribution. Committed group members attempt to resolve group conflicts by actively communicating information about their conflicting motives or ideologies to the rest of the group (e.g., intentions; reasons for holding certain beliefs), and by engaging in collective negotiation. Learned methods and procedures for addressing conflict include: negotiation, mediation, diplomacy, and creative peacebuilding. After my 3 year long training which included numerous advanced training courses and educational workshops, I became a qualified mediator in Conflict Resolution. Since then I have been working in several schools to resolve conflicts among students themselves and their teachers. Show less
