Water Experience

I am a humanitarian and international collaboration specialist with experience in the private sector, UN and non-profit sector in global settings. I focus on public health as a factor of sustainable community development, poverty reduction and community empowerment. I see resilience as a strategic entry point for social and economic development and believe that targeted investments in behavior change are crucial to achieving improved living conditions at scale. I currently work as the South Asia regional focal point for Women in WASH programming at UNICEF.
