I am a highly motivated young professional interested in international development and public policy, with a strong passion for working on the SDGs, particularly on issues bordering on global responses to poverty, energy accessibility, education, and the refugee crisis. I am interested in re-imagining international development partnerships in “justly” advancing sustainable development in developing countries.

I am deeply passionate about seeing Africa thrive and achieve the highest economic heights possible, which is why many of my blog posts focus on these issues. You can also find me engaged in various formal and informal debates and dialogues about Africa’s role in a changing, globalized world. This blog serves as a platform where I share my perspectives on both local and global issues through writing.

I have experience in research, program coordination, content writing, data, and policy analysis, and I have previously worked at the Kofi Annan Foundation, UNESCO-IIEP, and the European Commission (DG INTPA). I currently serve as a Project Management Analyst at the UNDP Rome Centre providing cross-cutting programme management support and technical assistance to the Centre’s work areas.

I hold a master’s degree in transnational governance (with a focus on international political economy and regulation) from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy and a BA (Hons) degree in Social Sciences jointly delivered by Glasgow Caledonian University and African Leadership University in Mauritius.

In my free time, I love talking with people, writing, and playing video games.
