What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impactful economic development.

I am a Financial Economist and Humanitarian Aid Expert with over 10 years of progressive experience in macroeconomic policy analysis, public financial management, and development coordination in fragile settings. My expertise lies in data analysis, economic dashboard design, and donor engagement with institutions such as the World Bank, IMF, FAO, and IOM. As a 2023/24 Chevening Scholar and a full member of the African Finance and Economic Association, I am committed to leveraging my skills to drive impactful economic policies.

Throughout my career, I have led multi-million-dollar budgets across humanitarian sectors, ensuring sound financial management and compliance with donor regulations. My role as Executive Director at Global Aim South Sudan involved overseeing project evaluations and implementing financial control systems that enhanced transparency and donor confidence. I have also facilitated inter-agency coordination and capacity-building initiatives, contributing to improved fiscal governance and economic empowerment among marginalized communities.
