Water Experience

As a sustainability engineer with an MSc in Water Science, Policy, and Management from the University of Oxford, my work centers on addressing water challenges through innovative, impactful strategies. I’ve co-founded environmental NGOs, led global water resilience initiatives, and contributed to climate risk management in water systems. My projects have advanced gender equity by prioritizing inclusive practices in water resource management and community involvement. From leading resilience assessments for African water utilities to evaluating WASH sustainability in Uganda, I’ve consistently aligned my work with empowering communities and fostering equitable water access and management.
