At Girl Effect, I spearheaded the Impact Team across five countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, advancing measurement strategies for organizational innovation. I also served as Principal Investigator for studies including Girls & Mobile 2.0, Urban Youth Digital Realities in India, and Mobility Matters.

I led research and digital technology development teams supporting TEGA, an AGYW-driven mobile data collection research and social sensing methodology. My work examined digital access and use gaps, with a focus on closing the gender data gap.

At Internews, I was Project Director for “Information Saves Lives - Ebola Outbreak in the DRC,” a two-way communication project connecting affected communities with the humanitarian response. I liaised with national Ebola coordination to launch a feedback working group and contracted a network of radio stations to broadcast Ebola-related content.

Earlier, at Population Services International, I developed mobile M&E systems and automated dashboards for Adolescents360. My background also includes epidemiology and public health research, including evaluations of women’s protection, reproductive health, nutrition, and HIV programs.
