Resettlment and Placement Specifcalist

March - August 2019 • Spokane, WA

What I liked

Hearing the personal stories of refugee and asylee clients and being a part of such a critical change in a human beings life. Being able to use by critical writing skills learned and honed on while at Oxy.

What I wish was different

As someone who is not religious, it would have been for the better to work at a non-faith based organization. With such a strong Christian presence, it often felt strange when religion was used by some staff as reasoning for action versus the language of human rights etc. More guidance from my internship supervisor; Not really present and therefore took on more responsibility due to his absence.

Advice

Be aware of the emotional tole which can come with working at a resettlement agency / center. Especially, in the resettlement and placement department.
