Communication consultant passionate about social justice and sustainability.

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values social justice, sustainability, and collaborative teamwork.

As a dedicated communication consultant, I specialize in curating inclusive media content and leading strategic communications initiatives that amplify the impact of philanthropic efforts. My current role at WINGS Philanthropy allows me to engage diverse audiences through multilingual and accessible materials, ensuring that our messages resonate across cultural boundaries.

Previously, I served as a project manager and community organizer with Citizens UK, where I worked closely with refugees and asylum seekers to address systemic injustices. My experience includes designing and coordinating multi-stakeholder events that prioritize grassroots voices and foster collective action. I have a strong background in content creation, project evaluation, and community engagement, which I leverage to drive meaningful change.

In addition to my professional roles, I co-founded Postcolonial Encounters, a digital project aimed at exploring the lasting impacts of colonialism. My academic background in Education, Public Policy, and Equity, combined with my commitment to sustainability and social justice, informs my approach to creating equitable and impactful communication strategies.
