What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and supports community development, with opportunities for growth.

I am a dynamic and results-oriented professional with over 4 years of experience in community empowerment, human rights advocacy, and business development. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in conducting educational workshops that have reached over 1,000 individuals and organizing humanitarian initiatives that have benefited more than 500 community members. As a co-founder of a successful cleaning service company, I have demonstrated my entrepreneurial spirit by serving over 50 clients while implementing eco-friendly practices to promote sustainability.

Currently, I am pursuing opportunities to leverage my expertise in conflict resolution and community engagement, particularly with international organizations. My recent internship at the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Africa allowed me to contribute to key reports and policy briefs that inform local governance. I am passionate about fostering dialogue and promoting social issues through creative arts, and I am committed to continuous personal growth and making a positive impact in my community.
