What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my communication skills for social impact, with opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a communications and project professional with over five years of experience in NGOs and international organizations. My expertise lies in social media management, content creation, storytelling, and event coordination. I have a strong track record of crafting engaging digital content that supports advocacy and donor communications, driven by my passion for human rights and sustainability.

In my current role at the International Development Law Organization, I contribute to health law programs by drafting newsletters, donor communications, and advocacy materials. My previous experiences include project development and fundraising consulting, where I successfully wrote a project proposal that secured over €100K in funding. I thrive in collaborative environments, supporting multi-country projects and capacity-building events that make a tangible impact.
