What I'm looking for

I am actively seeking remote opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in project management, education development, and social impact. I aim to push my boundaries, explore innovative solutions, and contribute to meaningful, high-impact initiatives on a global scale.

With over seven years of experience managing multi-million dollar international and national projects, I bring a strong background in education development, gender mainstreaming, climate change adaptation, and social development. My expertise lies in designing and implementing gender strategies, leading capacity-building initiatives, and fostering strategic stakeholder collaboration with government agencies, civil society, and international organizations.

In my current role as Operations and Compliance Manager, I lead the implementation of education projects under the Sindh Education Foundation, overseeing the management of 18 schools across Sindh. This includes ensuring effective resource allocation, addressing infrastructural challenges, and enhancing school operations to improve educational outcomes.

I have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to gender equality through the successful execution of impactful projects addressing gender-based violence, women’s empowerment, and inclusive decision-making. My strategic leadership has supported the delivery of high-impact programs, advancing gender-sensitive practices and fostering sustainable development in diverse and challenging environments.
