About me
As a Program Manager working in urban development, I’ve learned that transforming cities is as much about transforming systems and mindsets as it is about infrastructure.
My journey has centered on collaborating with government agencies, from city corporations to national ministries, to translate people-first ideas into funded projects and adopted policies. I’ve navigated the complexities of building consensus, strategizing for scale, and turning setbacks into learning opportunities within the public sector.
I can offer support to mentees exploring:
· Government Engagement & Policy: Strategies for effective collaboration, communication, and technical input to influence policy.
· Project Strategy & Scaling: Moving from a pilot concept to a budgeted, city-wide or national program.
· Navigating Professional Growth: Building a purposeful career in the public/social impact sector, handling motivation, and learning from challenges.
· Personal Branding: Communicating your work and impact authentically to different audiences.
If you're passionate about creating change within systems and seeking a thoughtful sounding board, I’m here to share insights from my own journey and what I've learned from peers.
