About

Bridging development, peace, and rights

With academic grounding in religion, peace and conflict, and gender studies, I combine analytical depth with hands-on project delivery. My work spans humanitarian and development organisations, faith-based networks, and rights movements.

I have lived and worked across continents — from internships in Tanzania, Angola, and Gambia to advocacy and fieldwork in Palestine and at European institutions. I bring people together, manage complexity, and keep projects moving toward real outcomes.
