What I'm looking for

Seeking roles in feminist movement building, grassroots activism, and strategic communications to drive social impact and empower marginalized communities.

As a dedicated feminist movement builder, I bring over 12 years of experience in grassroots activism, development work, and multi-media communications. My journey began with co-founding Drokmo, the first grassroots feminist organization in the exile Tibetan diaspora, where I spearheaded advocacy efforts and developed impactful programs for gender and sexuality education.

My professional path includes roles as a Program Officer and Program Associate with USAID's TSRR Program, where I led content strategy, gender mainstreaming, and program management. I also co-founded the Tibetan Feminist Collective, showcasing my commitment to empowering women and marginalized communities through media and research.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in English from Jesus & Mary College and certifications in Project Management and Brand Management. My work has been featured in media outlets like Tibet TV and Voice of America, highlighting my expertise in storytelling and strategic communications.
