What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role applying gender-responsive planning, data-driven decision-making and capacity-building to shape policy and amplify women’s empowerment in a collaborative public-sector or NGO setting.

I am a dedicated social development professional with over 17 years' experience across social development, gender-responsive planning and budgeting, and programme management. I have led the development of provincial Women Empowerment databases, coordinated GRPBMEAF reporting and training, conducted data verification visits, and aligned strategic and municipal plans to gender-responsive frameworks.

I combine stakeholder engagement, strategic planning and trend analysis with hands-on programme and financial management to deliver measurable outcomes. I am currently completing an LLB and remain committed to empowering communities and strengthening policy and implementation through data-driven, inclusive approaches.
