Sakinah Safiee

I am a Sociology undergraduate with a minor in Philosophy and a Diploma with Merit in Media and Communications. With excellent skills in qualitative research, my focus lies on urban cities, race, gender and social class inequality. I am an experienced leader, having held various positions, including the Chairperson of the university's volunteering group for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities. These leadership roles honed my communication, interpersonal, and teamwork skills. My critical thinking skills, coupled with my expertise in qualitative research, make me an invaluable addition to any team. I am eager to use my knowledge and skills to make a meaningful difference in people's lives through my career.
