ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
A Development Studies graduate with hands-on experience in social work, community mobilisation, and business consultancy. My expertise spans case management, counselling, youth and women’s support, and OVC programming, where I have facilitated assessments, documentation, and access to essential services for vulnerable groups.
In the private sector, I have managed teams, coordinated events, and implemented marketing strategies that enhanced brand presence. More recently, I have combined this with business strategy and community engagement consultancy, helping organisations improve growth and outreach.
Passionate about sustainable development, advocacy, and partnership-building, I bring strong report writing, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills to roles requiring both field impact and organisational development.
