What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my skills in community assessment and project management while contributing to impactful social initiatives.

I am a dedicated University graduate with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Sociology from Njala University. My academic journey has equipped me with a rich blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, particularly in community assessment, project management, and research. I have consistently demonstrated my ability to utilize participatory methodologies to address community needs, produce analytical reports, and implement effective interventions.

Currently, I am expanding my skill set by pursuing a certificate in Software Development from Power Learn Project Academy. This endeavor enhances my capabilities in software engineering, web development, and programming. My work experience includes roles as an Independent Political Intelligence Consultant and a Social Impact Specialist, where I have led significant projects that required meticulous data analysis and community engagement. I am passionate about making a positive impact in my community through effective project management and research.
