ABOUT ME
I am a purpose-driven social impact professional with a multidisciplinary
background in special needs education, gender advocacy, and environmental sustainability, committed to advancing inclusive, equitable, and resilient societies in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a Special Needs Teacher, I apply a learner-centered, rights-based approach to promote accessibility, dignity, and inclusive learning environments for learners with diverse abilities. My work as a Gender champion and SDGs Fellow focuses on addressing structural inequalities, advancing gender equity, and supporting community-led development initiatives that leave no one behind. I am also an environmental champion, advocating for sustainable practices as a foundation for long-term social and economic resilience. Through my experience as a Volunteer Social Worker, I actively engage with grassroots communities, collaborate with diverse stakeholders, and translate advocacy into meaningful social impact. I bring strategic thinking, ethical leadership, and a strong service orientation, and I am motivated to collaborate with organizations dedicated to inclusive education, gender equality, environmental action, and sustainable development to drive systemic change and lasting impact.
