What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values data-driven decision-making and offers opportunities for growth in humanitarian and development sectors.

I am a results-driven Evaluation and Data Analysis Specialist with over 10 years of experience in monitoring, evaluation, research, and impact assessment. My expertise lies in designing and implementing evaluation frameworks and outcome-based performance measures that enhance service improvement. I have a strong leadership background in strategic research, stakeholder engagement, and financial impact assessments within the humanitarian, development, and nonprofit sectors.

Throughout my career, I have adeptly used data-driven insights to shape policy, drive service design, and improve programmatic interventions. My role as a Systems Designer and Data Analysis Coordinator at the World Food Program has allowed me to develop innovative impact measurement tools and automated systems for data collection and visualization. I am passionate about mentoring and building capacity in M&E professionals, ensuring that organizations can effectively utilize evidence-based practices to achieve their goals.
