What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my social work expertise in a supportive environment, focusing on program development and advocacy for vulnerable populations.

I am a service-driven professional with over five years of experience in Social Work, Monitoring & Evaluation, and Research. My skills include stakeholder engagement, psychosocial support, and program development, all aimed at ensuring optimal client outcomes. I have a strong technical proficiency in legal case assessments, policy analysis, and advocacy, which has enabled me to conduct comprehensive data collection, analysis, and interpretation to drive evidence-based decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated excellent communication, problem-solving, and leadership abilities, fostering a collaborative and productive work environment. My experience includes conducting investigations for adoption cases, advocating for children's rights, and facilitating psychosocial support for affected families. I have also developed frameworks for ongoing projects and established effective communication channels to enhance stakeholder engagement.
