As a Consultant at Rathana.org, I work with organizations, businesses, and governments worldwide to develop strategies and policies that promote sustainable and socio-economic development. With expertise in law, advocacy, and communication, I help clients navigate legal frameworks, craft impactful advocacy campaigns, and design strategies that amplify their goals. I also assist governments in creating policies that foster inclusive development while ensuring alignment with global sustainability objectives. This is achieved through workshops and webinars, where I collaborate and co-create solutions with participants to address local and global challenges, contributing to lasting social impact and progress. As a policy consultant, I have advised the Parliament of Uganda on legislation such as the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill and facilitated the development of advocacy strategies for UNICEF Country Offices in West and Central Africa on children's rights issues like Female Genital Mutilation.

I worked as a Communication Contractor at Action in Africa, a charity organization dedicated to providing free education and social services to low-income families in my home village, Nankuwadde. In this role, I was responsible for developing comprehensive communication strategies to promote the organization's mission and impact. Additionally, I wrote and published engaging blog posts that highlighted the inspiring stories of beneficiaries, community members, and the various programs run by Action in Africa. My work helped to raise awareness about the organization's efforts and showcase the positive changes taking place within the community.

I supported the Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development (MoGLSD) in Uganda in establishing Children's Reference Groups (CRGs) by training child advocates and champions of children's rights. The CRGs, developed with technical support from UNICEF, are designed to enable meaningful child participation in governance. I led a team of young people to establish these groups across several districts in Uganda, ensuring that children have a voice in local government decision-making.

I was a member of the Amnesty International Youth Advisory Board, a team of youth leaders under 25 from across the global movement who were champions for youth engagement and participation. In this role, I contributed to the development of the International Youth Strategy by providing thought leadership and identifying opportunities to advance its goals. I also reviewed human rights campaigns and played an active role in organizing and hosting events, such as the annual "Write for Rights" campaign, which aimed to raise awareness and mobilize support for human rights issues around the world.
