- About Me
I'm a results-driven communication consultant and research analyst, with over six years of experience helping non-profit institutions gain valuable insights into their fields, craft compelling stories about their work and harness the right technologies to get those stories to the right people. My diverse portfolio of internationally dispersed clients ranges from Kenyan art galleries, to Pakistan-based international universities, to Canadian non-governmental organizations.
I also have a great deal of interest (and an academic background) in putting appropriate information and communication technologies (ICTs) to work for education and health in international contexts.
Right now, I'm working on building a career that merges these two areas of expertise because, to me, the host of acronyms that I'm passionate about (ICT4D, m4d, ICT4E, mHealth, edtech) together stand for using technology and communication to help bring people together to improve lives and livelihoods around the world. And, ultimately, that's what I want to do.
