What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead M&E and research initiatives, drive policy and program impact, collaborate with communities, and support gender-equity and sustainable development outcomes.

I am a research and policy professional with 5+ years of experience in data analysis, monitoring & evaluation, project coordination, and stakeholder engagement across government, NGOs, and consultancy contexts. I have led program design and convenings, improved data accuracy and reporting, and produced actionable impact reports for gender equity and sustainable development initiatives.

My work blends strategic management, community advocacy, and technical research skills — from mapping stakeholders and assessing socioeconomic impacts to delivering capacity-building workshops and convening multi-stakeholder events. I hold multiple certifications in policy development, project management, and M&E, and I chair a community advisory board to align research with community priorities.
