What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support mission-driven organisations through programme coordination, operational administration, stakeholder engagement, and leadership support, especially work advancing resilient, equitable, and sustainable communities.

At Fair Finance Coalition Southern Africa (350.org), I coordinate workshops, strategic planning sessions, partner meetings, and learning events across multiple organisations, countries, and time zones.

I've supported IPAS, the Constitutionalism Fund, Wits Reproductive Health & HIV Institute, and Equal Education through procurement, consultant onboarding, governance support, travel, events, financial administration, reporting, and records management. I serve as an operational link between senior leaders, partners, consultants, vendors, and programme teams.

I'm committed to strengthening organisational effectiveness for resilient, equitable, and sustainable communities.
