Regional Manager at Bridge Carbon Zambia, coordinating stove projects and monitoring, reporting, and verification.

At Bridge Carbon Zambia, I coordinate stove projects with implementing partners across Eastern Province, working with the Country Manager on field support and logistics. I also train field staff on operational materials and stove registration.

I conduct stove audits and coordinate monitoring, reporting, and verification, including water boiling tests, stove construction and maintenance, and Kitchen Performance Tests. I also manage the Zambia country database.

As a Monitoring and Evaluation officer with SUN, I managed and helped design the M&E system for a USAID- and DFID-funded food and nutrition project that reached 2,500 children across 110 schools. I oversaw data collection and supported staff and community structures with M&E guidance and training.

My other work includes managing an M&E system and database for the F-1000 Most Critical Days Program, supporting data quality and reporting for the EMPOWER Zambia Project, and collecting and assessing survey data. I have also worked with KoboToolBox, ODK, and the Smartcare database.
