What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration, innovation, and professional growth in international development.

I am a detail-oriented Project Officer with over five years of experience in supporting capacity-building programs in international trade and sustainable development. My journey has allowed me to manage multi-level projects and engage diverse stakeholders across 49+ African nations, streamlining program processes by up to 45%. I pride myself on my strong communication skills, a sharp eye for detail, and proficiency in documentation, monitoring, and strategic reporting.

Currently, I work at the Eastern and Southern Africa Management Institute (ESAMI) as a Project Officer, where I oversee program cycles from planning to implementation and evaluation, achieving a remarkable 97% on-time completion rate. I have successfully built and maintained strategic partnerships with government entities and multilateral agencies, contributing to a 10% increase in joint initiatives, particularly those led by women. My role also involves producing digital content, coordinating events, and conducting impact assessments to ensure program adaptation based on evidence-based decision-making.

My previous experience includes a Business Development/Communications Trainee role at Maple Consultants in Dubai, where I conducted market research and developed strategic planning initiatives that increased client retention by 17%. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in International Relations and a Bachelor of Arts in Media Communications, equipping me with the skills necessary to excel in my field.
