What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my project management and evaluation skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development.

I am an experienced professional with a strong specialization in Project Planning and Monitoring and Evaluation. With over four years of experience in both paper and electronic data capture systems, I have developed a comprehensive skill set in data management, quality assurance, and stakeholder engagement. My expertise extends to scientific data collection, storage, and retrieval, ensuring that I can effectively support organizations in achieving their objectives.

Throughout my career, I have successfully monitored various programs, including those at Food for the Hungry Uganda, where I led assessments and capacity-building initiatives. My ability to design and implement Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems has been instrumental in enhancing program effectiveness. I am passionate about fostering productive relationships with clients and stakeholders, ensuring that their needs are met with tailored solutions.
