What I'm looking for

Looking for a remote role where I can use my skills in communication, digital strategy, and outreach to support purpose-driven organizations. I’m drawn to teams working in humanitarian, migration, or development sectors especially roles involving content, partnerships, or stakeholder engagement.

I’m a communications and digital marketing specialist with 5+ years of experience helping brands and mission-driven organizations grow through strategy, storytelling, and outreach. My career has evolved from tactical content creation and campaign execution to strategic planning, brand building, and institutional engagement.

I began by supporting SMEs and solopreneurs, then moved into larger-scale campaigns, team leadership, and cross-functional marketing with brands like Manukato where I led campaigns that grew online sales by over 40%. I’ve built digital funnels, developed multi-channel content, and crafted messaging that connects with both consumers and donors.

Lately, I’ve been shifting toward impact-driven communication roles in global development, migration, and advocacy. I enjoy building systems that make messaging more effective whether it’s a campaign calendar, a donor CRM flow, or a capacity-building proposal. I’m especially drawn to remote roles that combine purpose, creativity, and measurable results across sectors like humanitarian work, ethical tech, or public education.
