At Stichting Sema, I provide financial planning and grant oversight, including donor compliance, budgeting, audits, and financial reporting. I also oversee finance, administration, procurement, and HR operations.

At Tuvi Technologies Uganda Limited, I advise on renewable energy projects and develop funding proposals and investment-ready financial models. I supported raising USD 500,000 through crowdfunding to initiate renewable energy projects.

At Stichting Sema, I developed a sustainability plan that supported organizational sustainability and reduced dependency on external funding by at least 20%.

My earlier work includes accounting and finance roles at North Rhode Consultancy, Fundacion Xcalibur, and Finding XY, covering financial records, grant reporting, compliance, and budgeting. I’m pursuing an MSc in Development Finance and CPA certification.
