I am a specialist in gender justice, human rights, international & community development and environment.

I actively promote dialogue and collaborations among a wide range of stakeholders with the aim of influencing the formulation and implementation of relevant policies, laws and programmes. I am adept at organising effective processes and events and supporting the production of relevant knowledge products and materials.
With an unwavering commitment to promoting equitable and sustainable practices, I use my expertise and extensive networks to make a lasting impact on environmental and gender justice. By promoting inclusive decision-making and driving transformative change, I strive to empower underrepresented communities and advocate for a more inclusive and sustainable future.
