What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead project coordination, strategic planning, and data-driven systems that help mission-driven organizations strengthen accountability, organizational learning, and meaningful social impact.

At GivingTuesday’s Data Commons, I coordinate knowledge management, integrate data, and improve access to shared resources for global and regional teams. I turn stakeholder input and user feedback into practical systems, documentation, training, and insights that support strategic goals.

Across ZanaAfrica, The LAM Sisterhood, and Population Council, I’ve led project coordination, monitoring and evaluation, research, data collection, and capacity building. I bring 10 years of experience connecting human-centered tools, evidence-backed strategy, and social justice work for adolescents, communities, and mission-driven organizations.
