Summary

Senior Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Specialist with over 19 years of experience in the humanitarian and international development sectors. I bring deep expertise in advancing gender justice, transforming harmful social norms, and mainstreaming equality across complex programs and policies. My work spans the full spectrum, from grassroots programming to global advocacy with a strong foundation in intersectional analysis, human rights, and the protection and empowerment of women and girls in crisis and development settings. I am a certified safeguarding investigator and strategic leader, recognized for driving organizational change, managing multi-country initiatives, and building inclusive systems that prioritize accountability and community leadership. My track record includes leading policy engagement at national and global levels, designing gender-transformative strategies, and fostering cross-sectoral partnerships that center the voices of the most marginalized. Combining technical depth with adaptive leadership, I am passionate about shifting power, strengthening feminist approaches, and ensuring that social inclusion is not an add-on but a core pillar of sustainable development and humanitarian response.
