My Professional Journey
With over a decade of experience in sustainable development, I've dedicated my career to creating positive environmental and social impact through effective project management and advocacy, particularly in the Global South.
My journey began with grassroots environmental initiatives, where I learned the importance of community engagement and local knowledge. This foundation led me to roles of increasing responsibility in NGOs and international development organizations, where I've had the privilege of working on transformative projects across multiple countries.
I hold a Master's degree in Sustainable Development from the University of Oxford and have completed specialized training in project management, environmental assessment, and stakeholder engagement.
My approach combines rigorous analysis with practical implementation, always keeping the wellbeing of communities and ecosystems at the center of my work. I believe that sustainable development must be inclusive, equitable, and responsive to local contexts to create lasting positive change.
