WELCOME
A common space
My current PhD research focuses on women's employment in rural parts of Africa. I have created this website as a centralised place where I can share photos and stories of the incredible women I meet.
Where I Am. Where I’m Going.
CURRENT OUTLOOK
Traveling between Cambridge and Africa, I sometimes feel like I am constantly between two worlds. I hope this page can be a place to capture all that I am seeing. A platform to connect with the incredible people I am meeting. Maybe even a place to start collaborating with others who share the same interests.
ABOUT ME
With over eight years of technical and operational experience at the U.N. and World Bank, I bring a rare combination of analytical and interpersonal skills to solve solutions for clients in complex country contexts. I have worked with governments and NGOs on how to create jobs – especially for women and youth. Past research has led to multi-million dollar partnerships such as the global 'Let's Work' programme which was launched from the IFC Job Study.
