What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic communications, advocacy, and multimedia storytelling that advances public health, nutrition, gender equality, and inclusive development through collaboration with government, UN agencies, and civil society.

I've led strategic communication and advocacy for Ethiopia's national nutrition agenda with UNICEF and the National Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Coordination Office. I develop media content, donor briefs, national campaigns, press materials, and public engagement events that strengthen visibility and influence.

Previously, I directed public health communications at UNICEF and Ethiopia's Ministry of Health, producing PSAs, documentaries, media kits, and crisis communications for immunization, maternal health, and disease prevention.

My background also includes broadcast programming at Mo'a Television, producer training with BBC Media Action, and reporting for Fana Broadcasting Corporation. I bring journalism, multimedia production, stakeholder engagement, training, and policy-focused storytelling to health, gender equality, and inclusive development work.
