What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support social development through child protection and community outreach, while also handling administrative coordination and reporting. I thrive in roles that value empathy, cultural sensitivity, teamwork, and measurable positive impact.

I’m a dedicated and compassionate Social Worker with a Bachelor of Social Work and Social Administration and international academic experience in Positive Psychology at Hanze University, Groningen. My focus is social inclusion, child protection, and creating positive social impact through culturally sensitive, empathetic support.

I’ve built experience across community development, child welfare, and administrative coordination, including assisting with project reporting, budgeting documentation, stakeholder communication, and project monitoring at the Ministry of Health Uganda. I’ve also supported recruitment and onboarding as an HR Intern, maintained HR records, and contributed to HR data collection and reporting.

In direct service and advocacy roles, I supported vulnerable children and infants through daily care and safe nursery operations, helped coordinate administrative and social support services at Good Shepherd Fold, and participated in children’s rights awareness campaigns with the Model Peace Forum. I’m highly adaptable, organized, and eager to contribute to organizations focused on social development, healthcare support, education, and community empowerment.
