What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that emphasizes storytelling and digital content, within a collaborative and innovative environment.

I am a purpose-driven professional with a strong background in international development and programme management. My experience spans various roles where I have successfully supported donor communications, produced impact-driven reports, and managed social media content for diverse audiences. I thrive in multicultural environments and am passionate about storytelling and digital content creation.

Throughout my career, I have coordinated multi-country projects, drafted donor reports, and contributed to advocacy materials. My work at organizations like the International Development Law Organization and Relief International has honed my skills in communications and project management. I am now actively seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in communications and storytelling to make a meaningful impact.
