Focus Areas

  • Designing and managing community programmes and events.
  • Stakeholder engagement with schools, NGOs, and funders.
  • Volunteer coordination and team leadership.
  • Budgeting, reporting, and basic non-profit governance.
  • Facilitating dialogues on social issues like GBV and youth empowerment.
  • Digital communication, including website and social media management.
  • Opportunity spotting and turning ideas into small, testable ventures.
  • Basic financial management: budgeting, simple cashflow, and record-keeping.
  • Customer engagement, relationship building, and service recovery.
  • Using digital tools (spreadsheets, messaging apps, social media) to run operations.
  • Negotiating with suppliers and partners in a fair, win-win way.
  • Planning and prioritising work across multiple responsibilities.

These capabilities strengthen my leadership presence in both community and corporate environments, including IT projects and cross-functional teams. The business and entrepreneurship skills make me more effective in IT and community contexts, where I often need to balance technical work with people, budgets, and outcomes.
