What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower youth and promote peace in communities.

I am a motivated peacebuilder and youth leader with a strong track record in refugee empowerment, social innovation, and conflict transformation. My experience includes leading community-driven initiatives and training marginalized youth in entrepreneurship, leadership, and peacebuilding. I am fluent in multiple regional languages and passionate about building inclusive, resilient communities.

Currently, I serve as the Director of Scholar Selection at LNA Uganda, where I lead scholar outreach and evaluation across the country. I conduct training workshops on leadership, critical thinking, and conflict resolution. My volunteer work with organizations like the Refugee Law Project and the International Rescue Committee has further honed my skills in promoting refugee rights and fostering peaceful coexistence.

As a fellow at Lazima Innovation Hub, I mentor youth in leadership, climate action, and social business development, facilitating peace-focused storytelling and empowerment sessions. My commitment to social innovation and youth mentorship drives my efforts to create positive change in my community.
