I am passionate about making a positive, memorable difference in people's lives by consistently adding value in my work and interactions with others. I like to understand the big picture and make my unique contribution to that picture. I believe in continual learning and growth, and contributing to the creation of an environment that makes this possible. I like to encourage and empower others to become all they could be. I enjoy pursuing excellence in every part of my work. I like making everyday count, knowing that tomorrow is not guaranteed.I am an enthusiastic, results oriented leader with over 16 years’ work experience in the UK and Zambia, over thirteen of which have been in development (mainly water, sanitation and hygiene sector), nine in management and 1.5 in a lecturing role. My experience includes partnerships and fundraising, policy and strategy development, programme development, planning, management, monitoring, support for implementation, capacity development, and analysis of data for decision-making using my competencies in leadership, building, and managing relationships, effective and timely communication of critical information, collaboration, diligence, research, and problem solving.
