Summary

With fifteen years of extensive experience in child protection, advocacy, community mobilisation, monitoring and field research, I have developed a strong skill set that aligns closely with the development sector requirements in related roles. My professional journey includes supervisory positions in both international and national organizations, encompassing both development and emergency contexts. I have successfully managed programme support operations, coordinated meetings, conducted data collection, facilitated focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, delivered training sessions, and produced comprehensive reports.


 This diverse background has equipped me to navigate complex challenges and implement effective solutions. I take pride in being an adaptable professional, consistently recognised by colleagues and management for my problem-solving abilities and collaborative spirit. I’ve worked with reputed organisations including the National Rural Support Programme (NRSP), Women Empowerment Organisation (WEO) Center of Excellence for Rural Development (CERD), Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC), Save the Children International (SCI) and International Rescue Committee (IRC) to name a few. With these reputed organisations I’ve not only secured extensive field experiences but have also honed my capacity for multitasking and managing competing priorities while maintaining a strong focus on community needs in the development, emergencies and research contexts.
