I am passionate about facilitating and supporting emerging leaders’ impact journey through...

tailored leadership development programs, mentorship opportunities, and cultivating learnings and knowledge sharing communities.  

With over ten years of professional experience in regional impact programs, I have worked with numerous  international organizations, non-profit, as well as non-government organizations in designing and managing development and capacity building projects. As a generalist, I see the big picture of program priorities while still addressing the details through a structured approach. I led different teams managing programs that focused on specific topics such as Women Empowerment,  Gender Equality, Good Governance, Climate Innovation and Technology, Environment and Sustainable Development, and Economic Empowerment.

Ideation and Proposal Writing

I partnered with several organizations in managing their projects, inclusive of the project’s conception, planning, implementation, monitoring, and up until the final closing and reporting phases. Further, in managing teams that are located in different parts of the world, I have adapted different online project management tools in which I will selectively choose depending on the type of project, program, and the team’s dynamic.

Bringing in over a decade of hands-on experience in project management, I look forward to partnering with your team for the entire life-cycle of your program or in any specific project phases required. Let’s chat!

Outreach and Communications Strategy

I have advanced my outreach skill set and communication strategies through the various social media platforms used during the programs, as well as managing multiple stakeholders in the programs I was directly responsible for. I developed coherent messaging and strategic documents that aligned with the program's focus and priorities and established the program's awareness to the specific audiences required.

Mentoring and Coaching

Knowledge is a shared wisdom and a legacy as it is repeatedly applied. I feel humbled and grateful whenever I get to see the people or teams that I mentored thriving and achieving their goals.
