What I'm looking for

I seek a senior protection or community development role where I can lead humanitarian programmes, manage CBI/shelter/WASH projects, strengthen protection systems, and collaborate with governments and NGOs to improve services for refugees and vulnerable groups.

I am a passionate community development and protection professional with over eight years' experience delivering protection, registration and case management services for refugees and asylum seekers at UNHCR field offices. I have coordinated reception centres, settlements and community outreach while leading UNHCR Direct projects in shelter, WASH and cash-based interventions.

I combine administration, finance and human resources functions with hands-on project management, drafting SOPs and supervising multi-functional teams using MSRP, Workday and ProGres v4. I engage governments, NGOs and community groups to strengthen national protection systems, prioritize vulnerable groups and promote women and child protection.
