What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my advocacy skills while contributing to meaningful community projects.

I am a confident and articulate professional with a diverse background in advocacy, administration, and IT support. My experience spans over a decade, during which I have worked with various organizations, including NGOs and government bodies, to improve community health and welfare. I have a proven track record in managing projects, coordinating teams, and ensuring compliance with organizational policies.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong interpersonal skills that allow me to effectively communicate with stakeholders at all levels. My role as an Advocacy Secretary at KUSCCO has honed my ability to navigate complex political environments and advocate for policies that benefit low- and middle-income earners. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the community and continuously seek opportunities to grow and develop professionally.
