My goal is to make the world a better place.
I began my career as a high school teacher, teaching English to immigrants. Wanting to contribute to systemic changes, I earned a Master in Public Policy and transitioned into roles with NGOs and U.S. state government agencies. For five years, I worked as a health care policy consultant, helping state governments address health care and health insurance challenges.
After relocating to Switzerland in 2018, I shifted my focus to international development.
Today, I provide consulting services to NGOs and firms with a social mission. I bring experience in research and writing for diverse audiences; technical skills in databases & data analysis (R, SAS) and data visualization (including dashboard development), and a background in training and developing e-learning modules for capacity building.
My project work spans diverse thematic areas, including climate change, nutrition, WASH, health care and education.
