I am a Community Development Advocate with over 8 years of relevant experience in developing and organizing initiatives targeting marginalized communities towards empowerment and resilience. I possess relationship building and influencing skills that harness multi-stakeholder partnerships in dynamic, people-focused organizations.My previous work in the not-for-profit industry focused on promoting community resilience, with specific emphasis on cross-cutting themes of disaster risk reduction, children’s rights, youth development, and social inclusion. Prior to my engagement with non-government organizations, I worked for several years in recognized learning institutions where I gained substantial experience in teaching and program support. My extensive career in the education and international aid sectors has afforded me diverse opportunities for personal and professional growth. It also demonstrates my adaptability and commitment to professional standards which I intend to bring along in my future organizations.
