I am an international development consultant with more than 12 years’ experience in the fields of women’s economic empowerment, livelihoods strengthening and resilience building, child protection and community development. Prior to joining twentyfifty, I worked for various UN agencies and the USAID on development assignments in South Africa, Malawi, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.
My inspiration and expertise is informed by lived experiences and solid understanding of the political, economic and socio-cultural context of Southern Africa and desire to see meaningful development in the region.
I hold a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Pretoria (South Africa); an MA in Development Studies and Gender from the University of Leeds (UK) and BSc and MSc in Sociology from the University of Zimbabwe.
