What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design and implement MEL systems, use data analytics for evidence-based policy, lead institutional reform, and mentor teams in transparent, impact-focused public sector environments.

I am a Monitoring & Evaluation (MEL) specialist and governance consultant with over 15 years' experience designing MEL frameworks, conducting baseline and performance assessments, and leading institutional reform across the Caribbean.

I have delivered real-time analytics solutions (Power BI), designed RBM and Theory of Change frameworks, and implemented organization-wide MEL systems that improved reporting accuracy, readiness, and program accountability.

My work spans donor-funded mechanisms (Global Fund, Global Affairs Canada), procurement governance, digital transformation, and public sector modernization; I emphasize stakeholder engagement, evidence-based policy, and capacity building to strengthen transparency and service delivery.
