    Policy only works when people understand, trust, and see themselves in it.

    That belief has shaped my 15+ year career, building and leading campaigns, programs, and partnerships that bridge the gap between strategy and lived experience. I’ve worked across Eastern and Southern Africa, as well as in the UK, delivering cross-sector projects in health, education, gender equity, and public engagement.

    My background blends strategic communications, policy research, and programme delivery. I’ve managed donor-funded initiatives with budgets over $1M, worked across 36 African markets, and partnered with government ministries, NGOs, and media platforms to scale impact. From designing AI-informed tools to expand cervical cancer screening access in underserved communities, to founding a grassroots menstrual health initiative that reached 1,400+ street-involved girls in Nairobi, I’ve built work that translates insight into action.

    I Bring Deep Expertise In:
    1. Localizing programmes across diverse cultural contexts
    2. Communicating complex ideas to diverse audiences
    3. Leading stakeholder alignment across government, community, and donor ecosystems
    4. Designing evidence-based campaigns that shift behavior and inform policy

    I leverage my cross-border experience and communication-first approach to inform policy engagement, program design, and research translation, particularly in areas of public health, social equity, and inclusive innovation.
