What I'm looking for

I seek a protection role in a values-driven humanitarian organization where I can lead survivor-centered case management, strengthen referral systems, build local capacity, and scale inclusive protection services.

I am a dedicated child protection and GBV practitioner with over seven years of hands-on experience in conflict-affected and displacement settings, managing more than 1,200 GBV and child protection cases and training over 50 social workers and community volunteers. I hold a Diploma in Special Needs Education, a Bachelor of Business Administration (expected 2025), and an Advanced Certificate in Child Protection, and I specialize in case management, safeguarding, psychosocial support, and establishing functional referral pathways.

I have led capacity-building initiatives, strengthened community-based protection networks, and implemented data-driven approaches (CPIMS+, GBVIMS+, Kobo Toolbox) to improve service delivery for women, girls, and children, reaching thousands through coordinated psychosocial support programs. I am committed to survivor-centered, ethical practice and to contributing sustained protection solutions within reputable humanitarian organizations.
