Development & Humanitarian Specialist | M&E | Program Management | Policy Advocacy | Seeking Global Impact Opportunities
I’m a passionate development professional with 8+ years of diverse experience across humanitarian response, gender advocacy, M&E, and strategic program design. I've worked with INGOs, research firms, and community-led initiatives to drive inclusive, data-informed, and sustainable changes, especially in vulnerable and disaster-affected communities.
My work spans grassroots implementation to high-level policy analysis, with demonstrated success in leading donor-funded projects, conducting impact evaluations, and integrating gender and safeguarding into every layer of program delivery. I'm also certified in Humanitarian Governance and Gender Action Learning and proficient in tools like SPSS, R, Tableau, and Primavera P6.
Now, I’m actively seeking international opportunities—particularly in Canada, the UAE, Germany, and Australia—as an M&E Specialist, Program Manager, or Policy Advisor within INGOs, think tanks, or CSR-driven institutions. I bring a global mindset, integrity, and a proven ability to lead with empathy and purpose.
Developed and implemented community engagement strategies to enhance the impact of development programs. Worked remotely to support the design of participatory approaches, ensuring the active involvement of local communities in project planning and decision-making. Conducted needs assessments, facilitated stakeholder workshops, and provided technical support to strengthen community resilience and development outcomes. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure the alignment of programs with community priorities and sustainable development goals.
