“I am more than thankful to have gotten this unforgettable experience especially in unprecedented times of a global pandemic. AsylumConnect’s diversity, work ethics, professionalism and staff were all so inspiring, aspiring me to be the best of myself. I would like to repeat my gratitude towards their modern work setting with being so technologically advanced and ready for remote work to the point that the coronavirus didn’t impact their working style in any way. This is due to the fact that AsylumConnect is the “first tech resource platform for those fleeing persecution due to sexual orientation or gender identity”, living up to the claims of them being tech savvy especially with the organization running with staff from all over the world, working in different time zones and locations over the internet. My passion of understanding humanitarian rights and gender issues, as I hope to serve in the United Nations one day, only increased more and I have AsylumConnect to thank. ”
