What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in WASH to create sustainable solutions and drive impactful change in communities.

I am a seasoned Environmental Health Officer and WASH Specialist with over 11 years of experience in developing and implementing urban and rural water supply and sanitation programs. My journey has been marked by a commitment to ending the global water crisis through innovation, collaboration, and capacity-building. I have gained deep expertise through hands-on work, delivering technical training and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration with NGOs and the private sector.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built partnerships that enabled the drilling of new boreholes and the rehabilitation of existing ones, improving access to safe water for over 20,000 people. I have conducted training programs for WASH professionals and local government leadership, enhancing their capacity to manage WASH interventions effectively. My advocacy for mechanized pit emptying services has significantly reduced health risks, while my initiatives to integrate innovative monitoring tools have improved the ability to address water source failures in communities.
