An experienced Development and humanitarian professional. Served in the East, Southern and West Africa in various roles including leadership, management, programs, stakeholder management, quality assurance, risk management, people management, knowledge management, programs/grants management, communications, advocacy and child protection. Working with colleagues from around the world has sharpened my interpersonal skills, cultural knowledge and people management within diversity. In my CV, you will also note the high rate of success and impact that I achieved in my previous assignments.
After a one year break from full time employment, I am now looking for international opportunities in a new challenging environment within my areas of expertise and beyond. While I was on the break, I took time to rest, reconnect with various aspects of my existence, and bond with my then toddler who was born just before the COVID19 pandemic.
