I am a dynamic and deeply committed programme management lead with a burning passion for driving transformative change in the non-profit sector! With 9+ years of hands-on, impactful experience managing multi-country humanitarian and development projects, I thrive at the intersection of agroecology, circular economy, and systems thinking—empowering rural communities to build resilient, sustainable futures. I live for tackling complex challenges head-on! From leading cross-functional teams to orchestrating multi-stakeholder partnerships, I excel at turning bold visions into real, measurable climate action. My expertise spans project management, policy advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and research, all fuelled by an unshakable commitment to sustainable development, resilient food systems, and inclusive climate justice. Resource mobilization? Donor engagement? Grant management? I don’t just meet expectations—I exceed them with strategic brilliance and relentless drive. My exceptional report-writing and relationship-building skills ensure that partnerships flourish and impact speaks for itself. Equipped with a Bachelor’s in Community Development, a Diploma in Project Management, PMP training (certification pending!), a Climate Change certificate, and a Permaculture Design Certificate, I blend academic rigor with grassroots pragmatism. But what truly sets me apart from the crowd? People-centered, human-rights-based approaches that amplify the voices of vulnerable communities, equipping them with power, skills, and agency to reshape their destinies through agroecology! I don’t just believe in change—I fight for it, build it, and champion it every single day.
