What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic communications, advocacy, and digital engagement that strengthen brands, build cross-sector partnerships, and advance women's empowerment, sustainable development, and social change.

At ReGen Technology, I lead stakeholder engagement and external communications across Africa for climate and water solutions, producing reports, briefs, and advocacy materials for governments, private-sector actors, and ecosystem stakeholders.

I've led communications and external engagement for the African Centre for Economic Justice and, through O2 Agency, developed creative communications strategies for 30+ clients across industries and regions. My work spans digital storytelling, media relations, social media ecosystems, press releases, campaign materials, and on-brand visual content.

I'm passionate about women's empowerment and use strategic communications to advance social change. Through She Thrives Mentoring Network, I lead a British Council-supported initiative that has delivered personal-development workshops to 200+ young women.
