Researcher

Océane is a Community Relations Specialist at the Oakland Housing Authority, where she leverages her expertise in peacebuilding and mediation to improve organizational communications with residents, property owners, and community partners.

In her previous role she directed a dining facility during Operation Allies Welcome, the coordinated effort to safely resettle Afghans in the United States. She managed a multicultural team of 110+ staff in the largest dining facility feeding up to 8 thousand Afghan guests a meal period. This experience allowed her to integrate her peacebuilding skills into her leadership approach within a humanitarian context.

She also facilitates the PREP Peacebuilding Career Coaching program, an initiative she developed to help NYU CGA students transition into the workforce. Océane supports students in applying their peacebuilding knowledge to their career goals, fostering intergenerational connections between alumni and current students.
