Desiree Noriega
Desirée holds a Master of Science in Political Psychology from Queen’s University Belfast as well as a BSc in Psychology.
Her passion for Human rights and her interest in understanding the complexities of human behaviour has taken her to work and volunteer for several hospitals and schools as well as governmental institutions and non-profit organizations providing support and assistance to those who were detained arbitrarily, tortured or assaulted during protests in Venezuela.
Her academic and professional experience during this time forged her passion for Human Rights which led her to complete a Master’s Degree in Political Psychology where she developed an interest in restorative justice.
She has coordinated several national and international restorative justice projects and has been involved in the development of a number of e-courses that use restorative justice practices, principles and values to empower young people and redistribute power within society.
