Just a few of the many things…
…at which I would be awesome, should the world want to give me the opportunity: Research assistant (such as this: http://bit.ly/uprLc6 ) but particularly as regards the contemporary Middle East. Communications assistant or contract writer for nonpartisan or left-leaning non-profits – Topics I’ve covered in this capacity in the past include: the elections in Congo, America’s terrorism detainees, the [...]
