What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role where I can lead program operations that scale educational technology and capacity building, work with cross‑functional teams and partners, and drive measurable impact through strategic planning and governance.

I am a strategic program operations and project management leader with over 10 years' experience in educational development, IT systems management, and enterprise-level program coordination. I hold an MA in Educational Leadership & Management and multiple certifications in project management, ICT, and networking.

I have designed and executed large-scale digital deployments and national systems, including Wi‑Fi for 702 schools and data governance for 1.4 million students, and co-led capacity building for hundreds of ICT tutors and school leaders. I develop engaging STEM content, organize competitions and workshops, and secure partnerships and resources to enhance learning experiences.

I bring strengths in stakeholder engagement, governance, risk mitigation, financial oversight, and cross-functional coordination, and I am committed to scaling inclusive education initiatives through technology, training, and strategic partnerships.
