At the intersection of international development, education, and refugee advocacy, I provide innovative solutions that empower organizations and communities.
Refugee Advocacy
Empowering Displaced Communities
Working alongside NGOs and governments, I have developed comprehensive advocacy strategies that amplify the voices of refugees and displaced populations. By building cross-sector partnerships and leveraging international networks, I help create sustainable solutions to displacement challenges.
International Development & Education
Transforming Educational Access in Crisis Zones
In conflict zones and under-resourced regions, I design and implement educational programs that provide hope and opportunity. My work includes curriculum development, teacher training, and educational reforms that promote long-term, scalable impact.
Strategic Storytelling
Harnessing the Power of Stories for Change
Strategic storytelling is one of the most powerful tools to shift mindsets and influence policy. I craft compelling narratives that drive action, whether in advocacy campaigns, funding proposals, or public engagement initiatives.
My Approach
My approach blends a strong academic foundation, field experience, and a passion for strategic storytelling to create real-world impact. With expertise in media and communication, pedagogical approaches, and international development, I empower vulnerable populations, particularly refugees, through education and advocacy. I craft stories that resonate and spark social change, working closely with humanitarian organizations, policymakers, and local communities to bridge communication gaps and drive meaningful solutions.
