What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration and innovation, focusing on gender equity and community impact.

I am a dedicated Program and Policy Support Professional with a strong background in Gender and Development Studies. My hands-on experience includes supporting training delivery, stakeholder facilitation, and developing learning content within education and protection programs. I excel in coordinating partner-facing engagements and adapting materials for adult learners, ensuring that all content aligns with organizational and community needs.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to safeguarding, equity, and values-based learning in both governmental and civil society settings. My work has involved moderating national-level dialogues, co-developing training materials, and applying data analysis tools like Power BI and SPSS to track participant engagement and outcomes. I am passionate about fostering inclusive environments and enhancing the effectiveness of programs through data-driven insights.
