What I'm looking for

I seek a senior communications role where I can lead inclusive, evidence-based advocacy and donor-facing visibility across multi-country development programs.

I am a communications and development specialist with 9+ years delivering high-impact, multi-country campaigns for governments, UN agencies, donors and private-sector partners.

I design advocacy, disability-inclusive strategies and evidence-based storytelling that strengthen visibility, donor confidence and citizen trust across complex, multi-stakeholder programs.

My work spans campaign design and multichannel outreach across 21 African countries, institutional branding, crisis communications and donor visibility for major financing facilities and partnerships.

I lead creative teams, build capacity and produce measurable impact — from nationally broadcast TV programmes to large-scale events and sustainability reporting aligned with SDGs and international disability inclusion frameworks.
