Glued to my desk, I’m wrangling edits for the report that keeps haunting my dreams, tackling research I definitely said “yes” to a few too many times, and sneaking peeks at Canva wishing I could just make one more cheerful design. In the middle of all this, I’m crafting a response to a donor who suggests we put the community network tower “on top of a tall building”, in a place where the tallest structure is a curious goat on a hill, which is the whole reason for the proposal. And of course, as emails ping, I’m also helping out with the world’s hardest creative challenge: naming a brand-new project.
My professional journey
Think of me as your go-to strategist who swapped footnotes for fieldwork and never met a policy gap I didn’t want to fill!.

The only “mystery gaps” in my CV are the two times I chased ivory-tower dreams, and yes, there’s no trilogy in the works!
