What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration, innovation, and impactful project management in a dynamic environment.

I am a seasoned Program Manager with over five years of experience leading data-driven humanitarian and development projects across agriculture, health, and social behaviour change sectors. My journey has been marked by a commitment to sustainable development, where I have successfully managed multi-stakeholder programs and conducted complex surveys, translating insights into actionable strategies. Holding a PMD Pro certification, I have designed and implemented scalable, tech-enabled programs that drive measurable impact.

Notable projects I have led include a UNICEF digital training in Ethiopia for 4,500 adolescent girls, empowering them against harmful practices, and a survey in Zambia to establish ongoing evidence on COVID-19 prevention behaviours. My role at Viamo has allowed me to develop comprehensive M&E frameworks and deliver actionable insights using advanced data visualization tools like Tableau and Power BI. I am also an active member of the Research Data Alliance, reflecting my commitment to data governance and knowledge sharing.
