About Me

Statistician and M&E Specialist passionate about gender justice and social impact

I'm a Statistician and Monitoring & Evaluation Specialist with 3 years of experience coordinating gender justice and economic empowerment projects. My work focuses on ensuring marginalized groups—especially women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals—are at the center of program design and implementation.

I bridge the gap between rigorous research and practical project execution, combining analytical skills (R, Python, SPSS) with stakeholder engagement expertise. Whether designing M&E frameworks that improve programs by 75% or coordinating multi-site evaluations for international organizations, I deliver results that matter.

Currently expanding my capabilities in AI automation while remaining committed to rights-based approaches and evidence-driven decision-making in development work.
