Development studies specialist at SOS Children's Villages who connected 200+ beneficiaries to organizational policy decisions.

Sierra Leone

Message

At the Office of the Ombudsman, SOS Children's Villages, I authored advocacy briefs and presented youth perspectives to executive leadership on child rights, educational equity, and safeguarding policies.

I established structured consultation frameworks connecting 200+ beneficiaries so community feedback could inform organizational policy decisions. I also led selection panels for SOS Ombudsman recruitment.

With the District Health Management Team (DHMT) / Global Fund, I conducted digital household surveys during national health mitigation campaigns and synthesized field observations into policy notes for health equity resource allocation and disease prevention planning.

My research and data collection work has included evaluating institutional response frameworks and legal support mechanisms for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, as well as assessing vocational education accessibility and youth employment programs. I work with KoboToolbox, SurveyCTO, Power BI, Python, and Excel.
