What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a motivated and purposeful project manager with over 10 years of experience in marketing, project management, event planning, and cross-functional team leadership. Currently, I serve as the Program Recruitment Manager for the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at USIU-Africa, where I oversee the full recruitment project lifecycle, manage client expectations, and maintain strong partnerships. My previous role as an admissions officer at USIU-Africa allowed me to successfully increase student enrollment by 75% through effective client advisory and supervision of recruitment processes.

Known for my ability to deliver projects on time and within budget, I excel in dynamic, fast-paced environments while managing multiple tasks. I have organized large-scale events, such as the first Scholar Awards and Recognition night, and have successfully recruited over 1,100 Scholars from 27 African countries. I am ready to leverage my extensive experience to contribute to your organization’s success and drive impactful results.
