What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my expertise in development communication to drive impactful change.

I am an award-winning development communication practitioner with over 25 years of influential contributions across various sectors, including electricity, oil and gas, transportation, housing, and governance. My extensive experience has allowed me to lead cross-functional teams in communications strategy, editorial, design, audio-visual productions, and digital marketing, delivering impactful behavioral-change communications campaigns for public sector clients.

As a published author and editorial board member for several prestigious journals, I have a strong commitment to advancing corporate governance and community development. My roles have included serving as a non-executive director, where I advised leadership teams on project implementation, and as an editor-in-chief, shaping the editorial direction of publications. I am passionate about bridging the gap between government and communities through participatory engagements and effective communication strategies.
