What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to drive impactful community development projects and foster sustainable practices.

I am a dynamic program management professional with over 8 years of experience in livelihoods, rural development, and community-driven initiatives. My expertise lies in strategizing, implementing, and scaling projects across diverse sectors, with a strong focus on social impact. I have a proven track record of managing multi-stakeholder collaborations and capacity-building programs, which have significantly improved the lives of many.

In my recent role as a Program Manager at Access Livelihoods, I led the implementation of a livelihoods and skill development project that directly impacted tribal communities. I designed and executed capacity-building initiatives for 350 rural women, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the program. My entrepreneurial mindset has also driven me to engage in community tourism and sustainability-focused ventures, where I advocate for responsible tourism and local engagement.
