What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my project management skills in impactful educational initiatives while fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment.

I am a responsible and determined professional with over 4 years of experience in project management, data analysis, and community mobilization. My journey has been marked by a commitment to improving educational outcomes for marginalized communities, particularly in refugee settings. In my current role as Team Lead at Rwamwanja Refugee Education Initiative, I have successfully increased the literacy rate of refugee learners by 20% through innovative educational programs and the creation of engaging animated videos.

My background includes significant experience in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, stakeholder management, and program compliance. I have a proven track record of leading teams and facilitating capacity-building sessions for educators, which has resulted in measurable improvements in teaching effectiveness. I thrive in multicultural environments and am dedicated to fostering inclusive education practices that empower all learners.
