Über mich
Hallo! My name is Ahtziri and I am currently a participant in the 40th cohort for the Parlamentarisches Patenschafts-Programm für junge Berustätige. It is an exchange program sponsored by the United States Congress and the Bundestag, in which I am spending 11 months in Germany as part of a cultural exchange. I am in Lüneburg, Lower Saxony and enrolled at Leuphana Universität. My background is research-focused in the areas of climate change, sustainability, and environmental justice. But I am also looking to explore different career paths. I am interested in learning about social media engagement and marketing as well as entrepreneurship. I enjoy making TikTok videos as a hobby but would find it fruitful to develop this hobby into a skill I could apply in my career path. I recognize its importance in spreading awareness and messages and believe it to be a skill valuable to all companies. Although my background is in research, I hope to be allowed to intern in this field!

Worked on two different data collections, Empathy Observations and Timing &Tracking in Monterey Bay Aquarium’s new exhibit “Into The Deep”. For Empathy Observations I would rotate between 4 different areas in the exhibit and observe a party of people to note down certain behaviors and thoughts they would express towards the animals. For timing and tracking, I would track one random patron throughout the exhibit make note of how they interacted in each part of the exhibit.
