What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in development or partnerships where I can lead fundraising, design equity-centred programs, build stakeholder relationships, and scale measurable impact within inclusive, mission-driven organizations.

I am a development and partnerships professional with 4+ years of experience generating revenue, coordinating large-scale events, managing CRM systems, and designing equity-centred programming across arts, education, and health sectors.

I have secured $190,000+ in philanthropic funding and led full-cycle grant writing, donor cultivation, and institutional reporting to strengthen organizational sustainability and impact.

My recent work includes co-designing a gender-sensitive sports and wellness clinic in Zimbabwe, developing partnership frameworks with national federations and corporate sponsors, and integrating athlete-focused mental health screening and referral pathways.

I prioritize inclusive, measurable programming—building monitoring & evaluation frameworks, accessibility initiatives, and CSR-aligned sponsorship strategies to translate community needs into structured, fundable initiatives.
