What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower communities and foster collaboration for sustainable development.

I am a passionate community development and social worker dedicated to empowering vulnerable populations, particularly children and youth. My experience spans various volunteer roles where I have successfully designed and implemented mentorship programs, engaged stakeholders, and assessed program effectiveness. I believe in the power of collaboration and partnerships to improve lives and create sustainable outcomes.

With a strong background in project management, I have led initiatives that foster community engagement and support. My work with organizations like The Youth Cafe and The World's Children Organization has equipped me with the skills to coordinate impactful events and provide psychosocial support. I am committed to continuous improvement and leveraging my skills to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve.
