Valerie Daniel

Determined to promote social justice, environmental protection and gender equality, I bring extensive experience in project management, critical thinking analysis, and communication. My background with Canadian embassies, Oxfam, and the University of Ottawa has equipped me with strong organizational skills, alert interpersonal abilities, and a high degree of adaptability. Committed to resolving these issues and promoting human rights, I am eager to contribute to initiatives advancing inclusion and equality globally through intersectional and decolonial perspectives.
