My role involves planning, monitoring, and managing gender and protection activities, generating insightful reports, and collaborating with various stakeholders to ensure the effective implementation of gender policies.

My passion lies in advancing Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in promoting quality education and gender equality. I have a proven track record of empowering women and girls through protection programs and fostering sustainable economic growth in marginalized communities.
