About me
I am the Head of Partnerships, Innovation and Digital Health at SPIDER, where I have worked since 2013 with various projects and programmes in international development where digitalisation is a tool for increased equity, opportunities and for Human Rights. SPIDER strives towards the achievement of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development goals by mobilising expertise and using appropriate digital tools for development. Furthermore, I lead the re-branding and organisational development effort in our team.
I have a Bachelor Degree from University of Sussex in "International Relations with Development Studies" and a Masters in "International and Comparative Legal Studies from SOAS (School of African and Oriental Studies) at University of London.
