What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can combine gender policy and GBV response expertise with strategic communications and data analytics—supporting impact-focused programs, training stakeholders, and strengthening evidence-based decision-making.

I’m a multidisciplinary professional with experience in gender policy research, GBV response support, and strategic communications. I bring public-sector experience in policy analysis and gender mainstreaming, alongside independent marketing and branding support for SMEs.

In my roles, I develop and strengthen communication materials that translate complex gender information into practical, usable messaging. I support stakeholder engagement through training facilitation, newsletter and technical briefing writing, and development of campaign content designed to improve reach and engagement.

I’ve led operational and program support for GBV services, including maintaining and supporting a 24/7 helpline for survivors of GBV and assisting in the development of the GBV Helpline Case Management System. I also contribute to monitoring and evaluation through desk reviews, statistical indicator identification, and gender-related research to inform policy and program tracking.

I’m energized by work that blends evidence and storytelling—drafting and reviewing technical documents, representing organizations at meetings and missions, and collaborating with partners to advance gender equality objectives. I aim to bring structured analysis, clear communication, and responsive GBV-informed practice to every engagement.
