I am a dedicated Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) professional with over ten years of experience supporting development programs across Africa. My work focuses on designing practical, inclusive systems that turn data into meaningful insights for stronger, more equitable program outcomes. I am passionate about empowering local partners and stakeholders through capacity building, ensuring that monitoring and evaluation are not just a matter of technical compliance but an integral part of learning and adaptation. With a background in collaborating with UN agencies, INGOs, and government institutions, I bring a collaborative and people-centered approach to managing complex, multi-country projects. I have experience in operationalizing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks, developing theories of change, refining logical frameworks, and supporting evidence-based decision-making at both regional and national levels. My technical strengths include data visualization, analysis, and management using tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Python. Fluent in English and Kiswahili, and currently learning Spanish and French, I thrive in multicultural environments and am motivated by the chance to contribute to large-scale continental initiatives. I am eager to support transformative programs, such as disease eradication efforts, that improve livelihoods and promote sustainable development across Africa.
