What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead youth-focused health and education programs, scale impact through partnerships, and apply M&E and content strategy in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a strategic and results-driven Program Manager with over four years of program leadership and extensive volunteering experience, focused on youth, health advocacy, and educational initiatives.

I design, coordinate, and execute multi-channel programs ranging from drug-awareness campaigns and AMR outreach to mentorship conferences and magazine publications delivering measurable outcomes and broad community reach.

I founded and led multiple initiatives (Holins 2DAP Hub, Starry Fountain Academy, Starletara) that produced publications, virtual series, and large in-person events, reaching tens of thousands online and hundreds in community engagements.

I blend program planning, stakeholder engagement, content creation, and digital outreach with monitoring and evaluation expertise, aiming to scale impact through partnerships, evidence-based improvements, and clear communication.
