What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity and social impact, emphasizing collaboration and community engagement.

I am a passionate researcher, writer, and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in various roles focused on culture, heritage, and social impact. My journey began as a Research Coordinator at Paraa, where I led action research projects that addressed critical issues such as urban agriculture and street childhood. My commitment to knowledge management and community-led initiatives has driven me to co-found organizations like Terracity and Into Positive, where I continue to develop impactful projects.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in numerous research and documentation projects, collaborating with organizations like UNDP and Concern Worldwide. My work has not only contributed to academic knowledge but has also had a tangible impact on communities. I have authored several publications that highlight resilience and sustainable practices, showcasing my dedication to promoting social change through research and creative writing.
