A Portfolio of Purpose-Driven Work
My portfolio encompasses USAID programs in Washington, D.C., peacebuilding initiatives in South Sudan, social cohesion and media literacy projects in Moldova, and security initiatives in Somalia, all grounded in equity-centered strategies and locally rooted solutions.

Through Community-Rooted, I bring this same lens to every project, helping teams navigate complexity with clarity, trust, and impact.
