About

One of the most rewarding aspects of communication, for me, is its ability to drive meaningful positive change.

As a seasoned communications professional, I bring over two and half decades of experience in media and communication to the table. My work has involved crafting and executing media strategies across international organizations and government sectors, managing public health campaigns, and addressing critical issues such as COVID-19 and public health crises.

My career highlights include key roles with the WHO, OSCE, USAID, IFES, and high-level advisory positions within the cabinets of the Prime Minister and Minister of Health. I've led initiatives during disease outbreaks, provided support in humanitarian crises and refugee health emergencies, and championed risk communication and community engagement efforts.

I hold a Master’s in Communication from Ohio University and was honored with the U.S. State Department’s Ron Brown Fellowship. My expertise spans media analysis, communication strategy, risk communication, and behavioral insights, supported by a robust network of media and marketing professionals.

I’ve been a university lecturer since 2009, where I teach communication research methods and media audience analysis. Additionally, my consultancy work with WHO, CDC, the European Union, the World Bank, and other international partners has sharpened my skills in handling complex communication challenges.

My key specialties:
• Strategic communication and PR
• Media planning and development
• Risk communication and community engagement
• Infodemic management and behavioral insights
• Digital communication and social media marketing
• Media audience research and analysis

Passionate about leveraging communication to drive meaningful impact, I’m always eager to connect and collaborate on transformative media, advocacy and communication projects.
