I am a multi-disciplinary professional with work experience in the Middle East and Eastern Africa. I have broad experience with humanitarian aid programming of different sectors, and I am specifically interested in complex urban contexts during emergency response. I have experience with managing programs in Protection, Food Security & Livelihoods, Shelter, MPCA/CfW, PVE and Peacebuilding. Currently in my role at the Dorcas International office, I am linked to Yemen and South Sudan as strategic advisor to the country offices.

For the Dutch Relief Alliance, I chair the Early Warning Working Group, the platform where Acute Crisis responses (with DRA funding) are discussed and brought forward towards voting.
