What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead policy and program development, build partnerships, and drive social-economic impact within collaborative, mission-driven organizations.

I am a results-oriented social-economic development expert with extensive experience designing and implementing policy, program and communications strategies for institutions and organizations.

I have led research, policy analysis and report writing across government, NGOs and regional organizations, and have practical experience in diplomatic and protocol engagements, stakeholder liaison and donor mobilization.

My career highlights include facilitating peace process engagements for the Central African Republic and designing the "Fostering Issue Based Political Dialogue" project for national elections, demonstrating my ability to manage complex, high-stakes initiatives.

I bring strong partnership-building, project management, gender and youth empowerment, and ICT/data management skills to roles that require strategic thinking and collaborative delivery for social-economic development outcomes.
