I am a dedicated and strategic development professional with over eight years of progressive experience in the design, management, and evaluation of social impact programs. My work focuses on youth empowerment, religious harmony, civic leadership, peacebuilding, and gender inclusion, with a proven track record of managing donor-funded initiatives and fostering meaningful community engagement.

I have extensive experience working with international organizations such as USAID, the U.S. State Department, Peace Direct, and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) – University of Sussex, where I’ve successfully managed micro and small grant mechanisms and led multi-stakeholder partnerships.

Passionate about social transformation through inclusive leadership and local ownership, I actively promote the integration of indigenous wisdom and community-rooted practices into peacebuilding and development efforts.

As a mentor on NextQadam, I can guide young professionals in Project Design and Planning, Social Impact Design, Proposal Writing, and Event Planning — helping them shape purposeful careers and lead with impact.
