What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time remote role in project coordination, data analysis or research support where I can apply M&E expertise, lead virtual assessments, and contribute to evidence-based program improvements.

I am an accomplished program coordinator and monitoring & evaluation specialist with over 10 years delivering remote international projects, virtual assessments, and high-quality evaluation reports for humanitarian and development organisations.

I have led SMART nutrition surveys, developed national guidelines and toolkits, and provided technical advisory support across Africa and Latin America, consistently meeting deadlines while working independently across time zones.

I combine strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills with virtual stakeholder engagement, training facilitation, and technical writing to produce actionable findings that improve program design and impact.
