Summary

Analytical, energetic, and detail-oriented communications’ specialist with broad and deep experience in international humanitarian law, monitoring of Armed Forces and NSAGs, project management, monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. I have slightly over nine years of experience in the humanitarian field, M&E and project management, having worked for local and international NGOs including the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross. I have provided advisory and project support for a range of communications and M&E activities across complex programming and various contexts. I have also lectured at various universities in East Africa on communications research, research design/methods and M&E. My recent role was with ICRC as a Protection Delegate in Mali and South Sudan. It goes without saying that prior to this role, I served UNDP in Niger, whereby I oversaw monitoring and reporting for its governance, peace, and security unit (GPS).
