What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and drives social impact, with opportunities for professional growth and meaningful engagement in sustainable development.

I am a results-driven professional with extensive experience in stakeholder engagement, project management, and cross-sector collaboration within the development and social innovation sectors. My passion lies in building sustainable networks and advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I have a strong background in Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E), partnership development, and public-private collaboration, empowering APAC-based organizations to drive systems change and social impact.

Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented M&E frameworks to track project progress and enhance operational sustainability. I have facilitated cross-sector partnerships, connecting civil society organizations with government institutions and international development agencies. My expertise in data analysis and reporting, combined with my multicultural communication skills, allows me to produce high-quality donor reports and policy briefs that effectively convey project outcomes and advocacy strategies.
