What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead inclusive education programs, strengthen community-school partnerships, mentor teachers and students, and scale health, protection and life-skills interventions.

I am an education specialist and counselor with a Master’s in Education and 15 years of experience designing and delivering inclusive curriculum, school health and nutrition programs, and life-skills education. I have a proven record of strengthening learner participation, reducing girl-child dropouts, and enhancing exam integrity through strategic partnerships with government, community and civil society stakeholders.

I lead program development, teacher mentorship, and guidance services with a values-based approach, integrating community engagement and child protection into school systems. My work includes coordinating adolescent health initiatives (Future Life Now), mentoring student leadership, and collaborating with police, anti-corruption bodies, blood transfusion services, PTAs and traditional leaders to improve learning outcomes and learner wellbeing.
