What I'm looking for

I seek roles in fundraising or partnerships where I can lead proposal development, expand donor pipelines, drive strategic collaborations, and apply data-driven approaches in inclusive, impact-focused organisations.

I am a fundraising and partnerships professional with 5+ years advancing gender equality and data-driven initiatives across the UN, INGOs, and government. I specialise in mobilising public and private funding through grant writing, strategic partnerships, and donor cultivation.

At Data Friendly Space I built a fundraising strategy, produced donor intelligence on 100+ donors, secured 17+ strategic partnerships, and helped win $1.5M across grants and a service contract by leading proposal and pitch development for AI-powered humanitarian solutions.

With the United Nations Complex Risk Analytics Fund, I supported donor cultivation and grantmaking that helped secure $13M, designed an Open Call for Proposals on Gender Data that yielded 230+ applications, and strengthened monitoring and outreach to expand Global South and feminist group participation.

My background combines program management, MEAL, and policy experience—managing humanitarian programs, coordinating teams, and producing data-driven narratives and tools to support gender-responsive programming and donor reporting. I prioritise ethical data practices, inclusivity, and measurable impact.
