What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my skills and experience to make a positive impact in the lives of others. I am committed to building, supporting, and collaborating with volunteers, donors, and partners to bring about social change and improve the quality of life.

I am a dedicated and passionate individual with a strong desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others. With a background in development studies, I have gained a good understanding of how to develop programs intended to promote child development, improved water & sanitation, improved shelter and environment, small scale business enterprises, HIV/AIDS management, income generating activities among others.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated excellent interpersonal skills, leadership skills, project planning and management, and monitoring/evaluation skills. I am a self-starter with a strong willingness to learn and grow, and I am committed to building, supporting, and collaborating with volunteers, donors, and partners to bring about social change and improve the quality of life.

I have a strong track record of achieving results, including growth in market share, revenue streams, and effective communication with individuals and groups. I am confident in my ability to respond to emergency situations, establish priorities, and make ethically sound decisions.
