What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to impact urban planning positively, focusing on sustainable development and community engagement.

I am an accomplished graduate of Urban and Regional Planning with a strong background in population studies, demographic studies, and spatial organization and analysis. My education has equipped me with the skills necessary to utilize cartography and other geographical tools effectively. I possess excellent communication skills and thrive in collaborative environments, working with a variety of stakeholders to create sustainable, livable communities.

Currently, I serve as a Forward Planner at the Maseru City Council, where I manage and interpret data, digitize maps using ArchGIS, and oversee land allocation processes. My previous role as a Catus Coordinator at the National University of Lesotho allowed me to hone my project coordination skills, ensuring timely completion of various projects while maintaining high-quality standards. I am eager to leverage my education and expertise in a role that will enable me to make a positive impact on urban and regional planning initiatives.
