What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my social work expertise while fostering a collaborative and supportive environment focused on community development and individual empowerment.

With over nine years of experience as a social worker, I have developed a strong expertise in case management, stakeholder engagement, and report writing. My journey has been focused on supporting orphaned and vulnerable children, youth, and the elderly through capacity development, skills training, and counseling services. I am committed to driving positive change and improving individuals’ well-being.

In my recent role as a Regional Senior Case Manager at Church World Service, I oversaw the United States Refugee Admissions Program activities, ensuring compliance with policies and managing workflow effectively. I have a proven track record of leading teams, conducting quality assurance checks, and developing training programs for new staff. My educational background, including a Postgraduate Diploma in Maritime Studies, has further enhanced my analytical and problem-solving skills, enabling me to adapt and thrive in diverse environments.
