Policy, Advocacy & Communication. A seasoned Communications & Advocacy Specialist with deep expertise in strategic storytelling, stakeholder engagement, and global media relations. With a background spanning journalism, public health advocacy, and digital strategy, I have led high-impact campaigns across Africa and beyond. My work at EGPAF, Harvard Public Health, The Christian Science Monitor, Change.org, Reuters Africa, Financial Times, and Voice of America has shaped narratives, influenced policy, and driven change.

I excel in policy analysis, resource mobilization, and capacity building, ensuring organizations amplify their mission while forging influential partnerships. Whether crafting compelling media packages, managing crisis communications, or driving advocacy for public health and environmental initiatives, I deliver results with precision and innovation.

My expertise lies in strategic communication and brand visibility, grant writing and resource mobilization, advocacy and policy influence, media production and digital storytelling, as well as stakeholder engagement and partnership development. I have a proven ability to craft persuasive narratives that enhance organizational impact, secure funding opportunities, and drive meaningful policy change. With a keen understanding of global media dynamics, I navigate complex communication landscapes to elevate brands, foster partnerships, and mobilize resources effectively.
