Summary

Strategic Communications & Research Consultant Multilingual expert with over 13 years of experience delivering mission-focused communications, stakeholder engagement, and research translation across the humanitarian, development, and policy sectors. I specialize in turning complex data into clear, persuasive narratives that strengthen institutional visibility, mobilize key audiences, and support evidence-based decision-making. My work spans communication for development (C4D), crisis response, and research dissemination. I’ve led communications strategies for global organizations including WHO Europe, Save the Children, UNDP (Kenya and Uganda), GIZ, Plan International, IRC, the European Union, and GCRI Canada—across sectors such as climate change, public health, education, migration, financial inclusion, and social protection. My core strengths include qualitative research, technical writing, digital media strategy, knowledge product development, and donor-driven visibility campaigns. I’ve supported initiatives across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas—ensuring messages resonate with local context while achieving global impact. With a cross-sector, cross-regional perspective, I deliver high-impact communications from strategy through execution, in both emergency and long-term development contexts.
