Biography

I am a Water Sanitation and Hygiene specialist and KM enthusiast with over a decade of professional experience in the development and humanitarian sector. I am skilled in project planning and implementation, developing monitoring and evaluation frameworks, data collection analysis and reporting tools, knowledge management, and building reporting dashboards. My academic background is in international development, public administration, policy analysis, management, and public health. I currently work as a Programme Specialist with UNICEF, where I lead national WASH sector surveys, provide technical expertise for knowledge management and learning, and support field teams and grant managers in monitoring implementation and tracking project progress. Prior to UNICEF, I developed and implemented innovative approaches to rural sanitation with UNOPS-supported rural sanitation projects in Nigeria.
