About
With a deep understanding of the critical nexus between energy and sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, education, and refugee resettlement, I am available for part-time consulting services focused on driving sustainable solutions for universal energy access. My expertise spans private sector development, program leadership, coordination, and government advocacy.
I believe that achieving universal energy access requires collaboration across all stakeholders—governments, private sector players, NGOs, and communities. I have experience across all these agencies. Too often, programs designed to address energy access work in silos or lack long-term sustainability once funding ends. I am passionate about creating strategies that not only bridge these gaps but also ensure enduring impact beyond the life of a project.
If you're looking to navigate complex multi-stakeholder environments and develop sustainable energy programs, I bring both practical insights and a systems-level perspective that can help you achieve your goals.
I want to thank you in advance for your consideration if any opportunities cross your desk. I am capable of supporting coordination and management with internal teams as well as contribute individually to specific assignments.
