Message

At Xavier Mission, I coordinated outreach to community organisations and businesses for the Life Strategy & Empowerment programme, while analysing participant feedback and programme data. I also developed a framework to track outreach and recruitment outcomes.

My work has included facilitating creative and wellness groups, building community partnerships, and evaluating programmes with participant feedback and surveys. At the International Rescue Committee, I adapted and delivered a 10-week caregiver support pilot and contributed to its evaluation.
