"So far, I have worked as a program assistant for the Sociology Department during my undergraduate years. Then, I became a Teaching Assistant when I was getting my Master's Degree in Urban Planning. My first job out of grad school was working with a community development organization to gather input from community stakeholders regarding the building of a new centralized park. All of these experiences sparked the fire in me to embrace a career in field research. I believe Human Rights Watch is the perfect organization to contribute my research skills to advance the cause of human rights around the world. I would relish the opportunity to join a team of expert researchers in the field and grow professionally with their mentorship and guidance."

"Ever since I began studying human rights abuses in my history courses in college, I have been aware of the good work Human Rights Watch does to expose these abuses and attempt to hold their enablers accountable. It has been a dream of mine to work for this organization, so I am deeply honored to be granted an interview. As I continue to hone my research skills, I am excited about the prospect of growing with Human Rights Watch through their Early Career path. This will provide me with the necessary tools to develop professionally, and I am eager to bring those tools to bear through a continued career with your organization."
