About Annika Franco

I recently completed a master\'s degree in international relations at Harvard Extension School, where I expanded my knowledge and skills in global affairs, diplomacy, and human rights. I am interested in exploring the intersections of marketing/ communications, and international development, and how they can be used to promote social change and empower communities. My history of success is directly related to my ability to research, analyze, and synthesize geopolitical data to inform policy recommendations, enhance organizational presence on the global stage, and promote cultural exchange to strengthen international ties. In addition, I have a service-oriented mindset with overseas experience and a well-rounded knowledge and understanding of diverse cultural and linguistic contexts.I am also the owner of Annika Franco Photography, a professional natural light and studio photography business that specializes in portraits, events, and professional headshots. I have honed my skills and creativity over 13 years of experience in the field, and have a website where I showcase my portfolio.In addition to photography, I have a strong background in marketing and advertising, with over eight years of experience in various roles, including director of new business, independent consultant, and project manager. I have a keen eye for design, a flair for writing, and the ability to translate marketing ideas and design concepts to diverse audiences. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator, PageMaker, and Microsoft Office, and I am fluent in English and Swedish, intermediate in Spanish, and proficient in German and French.In addition to the wealth of my experiences, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development; staying abreast of global trends and emerging issues in international relations, and applying strong academic knowledge to drive forward-looking initiatives.
