What I'm looking for

I seek a senior communications role where I can lead digital campaigns, grow audience engagement, mentor remote teams, and use data-driven strategies to increase visibility and donor impact.

I am a digital marketing and communications specialist with 8+ years delivering high-impact campaigns across Africa, focused on growing reach, conversions, and stakeholder engagement.

At PACJA I designed and executed digital strategies for 10+ donor-funded projects, expanding online engagement to over 3M audiences and boosting website traffic by 40% within a year.

I lead cross-country advocacy campaigns, optimize email and social performance (including A/B testing and segmentation), and streamline reporting with analytics tools to enable data-driven decisions.

I train and manage remote teams, build multimedia storytelling initiatives, and drive visibility for CSOs and donor projects, improving campaign efficiency, collaboration, and funding visibility.
