Elisa B.

Graduated from King's College London with an MA in Conflict Security and Development, I am a motivated young professional with several on-the-ground experiences in West Africa. With a multidisciplinary understanding of major development-related issues, I am willing to broaden my expertise according to my main interests, with a geographic focus on Sub-Saharan Africa: peace-building and post-conflict reconstruction, with a specific focus on Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) & Security Sector Reform (SSR); conflict-related analysis - i.e. political and security risk analysis; reconciliation and social change; sustainable development, primarily focusing on youth and women. Having lived in different countries in the past couple of years, my personality has evolved accordingly, making me able to enhance my interpersonal and communicative skills, as well as to adapt to a variety of settings and circumstances.
