Zara Sior

I am a motivated graduate from Sussex University with a 2:1 in Politics and International Relations. I am pursuing a Master’s in Global Public Health and Policy at Queen Mary University of London. I am passionate about public health policy, international relations, and social justice, and I am firmly committed to advocating for Afghan rights and empowering marginalised communities. Fluent in Farsi (Dari), I have hands-on experience in refugee advocacy and education through Conversations Over Borders, where I taught English to Farsi speakers. I have also fundraised for Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP), deepening my understanding of global humanitarian efforts.

With strong skills in policy analysis, research, stakeholder engagement, and project management, I excel at managing multiple priorities, adapting to challenges, and driving impactful change. I am seeking full-time graduate opportunities in public policy, global health, and international relations, where I can contribute to meaningful, equity-driven initiatives.
