As an experienced leader in early childhood development and education I have inspired innovative action to promote, protect and help realise the rights of young children through facilitating training and capacity building. A fundamental motivation is growing individuals and teams through building collaborative relationships deeply rooted in respect for others and trust. Through my work experience, I have advocated for a children’s rights based approach through my strategic vision, leadership, and project management in various contexts. My PhD research in Rwanda explored young children’s perceptions of children’s human rights education. My study stemmed from my interest in children’s rights and learning from different cultures and perspectives.
