What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented Bachelor in Development Studies graduate with a strong background in field research, customer service, and community development.

I pride myself on my ability to manage and analyze data effectively, ensuring that I provide valuable insights to stakeholders.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to improving community health and social services. My role as a Hospital Social Worker intern allowed me to engage directly with patients, providing essential support and counseling to those living with HIV/AIDS and other vulnerabilities.
