Results-driven social worker with expertise in community development.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Social Worker with over 5 years of experience in community development, crisis intervention, policy implementation, and research. My journey in social work has equipped me with proven expertise in case management, counseling, and data-driven program development. I am passionate about mobilizing communities and advocating for vulnerable populations, ensuring that sustainable social welfare programs are effectively implemented.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed daily operations in various roles, including as an Administration Assistant at Kingswood Contracting, where I oversaw project planning and resource allocation. My internship at the Ministry of Public Service, Labour & Social Welfare allowed me to conduct community-based research and coordinate food distribution for drought-affected communities. Additionally, my volunteer work with Youth Aspire Development Trust has honed my skills in designing educational programs and monitoring youth projects.
I believe in the power of community engagement and the importance of data in driving impactful social programs. My commitment to supporting vulnerable groups and my ability to implement effective solutions make me a valuable asset in any social work setting.
