USV works to build the capacity of social entrepreneurs in Uganda. Founded USV with two fellow students in 2012. At different times, acted as Chair and Treasurer on the Board of Trustees. Shaped USV's strategy, programmes, financial sustainability and accounting practices, with a further role in shaping core UniTED strategy and policies.

Beirut, Lb

Consultant with a focus on trade and investment policy among low income Asia-Pacific nations. Supported country trade departments with economic modelling (general and partial equilibrium) to shape trade agreement negotiation strategies, leading to the development of the Trade Intelligence and Negotiation Advisor tool. Organised capacity building sessions for member states in trade modelling software. Conducted research on the cyclical and structural determinants of trade, and the effect of China's growth policy on its potential as a regional export market.

Coordinated Whave's Monitoring and Evaluation programme, including directly managing a team of 8 contractors, creating and updating surveys and data analysis tools, researching topics from water source lifecycle costs to statistical analysis of diarrhoea prevalence, meeting with project partners, fundraising, and strategy.
