My expertise lies in project execution, responding to complex emergencies, and advocating for feminist and social justice principles. I have a proven track record of managing large projects, building partnerships, and enabling capacity development, particularly for women, youth, and marginalized groups.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in fast-paced environments, managing multiple projects with strict deadlines. I have successfully fostered collaboration across various organizations, including the African Union and the UN, achieving significant increases in project impact. My commitment to sustainable social impact is evident in my work, where I prioritize impactful communication and collaboration to drive results.
