I am an international development professional with approximately 15 years of substantive field- and headquarters-based experience in applied research; project planning,, monitoring, evaluation, and learning (PMEL); and project management. I have a background in peacebuilding, gender, livelihoods, governance, and human rights programming, as well as technical skills in survey design, qualitative research, training, and facilitation.

I am currently on the Protection of Civilians (PoC) team at PAX, a Dutch peacebuilding NGO, where I am responsible for PMEL, partner management, and donor relations for our PoC program. Our work is rooted in the principle that expanding the voice and representation of civilians on the protection issues that affect them every day is necessary for improving security policies and how they are implemented, as well as for holding security providers and other authorities accountable for meeting their protection obligations.

Field experience includes: Iraq, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Indonesia, Uganda, Jordan, Swaziland, Serbia, Peru, and Myanmar.
