What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impactful project delivery in sustainable development.

I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and Climate Change Professional (CCP) with extensive experience in implementing water and sanitation programs. My work emphasizes environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and gender-transformative programming. I have a proven track record in fundraising and resource mobilization, which has enabled me to secure funds for impactful projects that align with organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have effectively managed cross-functional teams and complex projects, ensuring timely completion and adherence to budgets. My role as a Programme and Communications Officer at Simavi involved supporting a multi-country WASH program, where I was responsible for risk management, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with reporting requirements. I am dedicated to promoting gender equality and sustainable development, and I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and collaborate.
