Results-driven professional with expertise in project operations and administration.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a solid background in supporting project operations and administrative functions. My experience includes coordinating multiple projects, ensuring timely completion, and managing schedules effectively. I hold a Master's degree in Governance and Regional Integration and a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Public Administration. My academic achievements include being in the top 4.5% of African scholars selected by the African Union and receiving a fully funded scholarship.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in research and data collection, particularly during my role as a Research Assistant with Afrobarometer, where I engaged with diverse communities across Botswana to gather inclusive feedback. My internships at the Ministry of External Relations and the Ministry of Agriculture have further honed my skills in policy analysis, event planning, and administrative support, contributing significantly to departmental operations.
In addition to my professional experience, I am actively involved in volunteer work, currently serving as a Strategic and Program Assistant for the Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network. Here, I develop strategic plans and coordinate programs to achieve the network's goals. I am passionate about fostering effective communication and collaboration within teams, which has led to successful engagement strategies that boost participation and awareness.
