Dedicated programs assistant with a focus on sustainability and community impact.

United Kingdom

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to drive sustainability initiatives and foster community engagement.

I am a passionate programs assistant with a strong commitment to sustainability and community development. With experience coordinating training sessions and events for women in the African agribusiness value chain, I have honed my skills in effective communication and project management. My role at Guzakuza UK allowed me to design engaging digital content and collaborate with stakeholders to promote sustainable practices.

Previously, I worked with the Aequitas Foundation, where I mobilized educational resources and organized health screenings for deprived communities, enhancing their well-being. My background in social work at Ridge Hospital further strengthened my advocacy skills, as I produced detailed reports and secured significant donations to combat malnutrition. I am dedicated to making a positive impact through my work and community engagement.
