What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impactful humanitarian solutions.

I am a dedicated consultant with a strong background in humanitarian analysis and project management. My experience spans various roles, including my current position at The Palladium Group, where I conduct humanitarian data analysis to support UK government decision-making. I have a proven track record of engaging with stakeholders, including NGOs and UN agencies, to facilitate effective crisis monitoring and response.

Previously, I served as a Program Manager at British Steel, where I spearheaded the Teesworks project, driving sustainable growth in the UK industrial sector through strategic partnerships. My academic credentials, including a Master's Certificate in Development Economics from MIT and an MA in International Development from UCL, complement my practical experience, equipping me with the analytical skills necessary to address complex global challenges.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to humanitarian efforts, managing programs focused on poverty alleviation and education in Cambodia, and supporting refugee initiatives. I am passionate about leveraging data and policy insights to create impactful solutions in the humanitarian sector.
