I am experienced in the design, delivery and management of collaborative engagement approaches within multi-sectoral, multidisciplinary and multicultural environments. I have a track record of working in client facing roles delivering innovative solutions for complex problems through research, analysis, process improvement and concept development. I am also adept in the facilitation and communication of results-based outcomes that equip stakeholders for strategic decision making. My career has given me extensive experience in public policy with global multilateral organizations, public and private sectors and educational partners.
