Short biography

I am a researcher specializing in Security and Intelligence Studies, with a strong background in community development and program management. My expertise spans academic research, policy analysis, and practical implementation of development initiatives. With extensive experience as a community development practitioner, I have held key roles such as Community Coordinator, Programs Coordinator, and Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Manager.

In these capacities, I have led the design, implementation, and assessment of community-based projects, ensuring their alignment with development goals and stakeholder expectations. My work has involved engaging with diverse communities, fostering partnerships with government and non-governmental organizations, and facilitating capacity-building initiatives. My academic contributions reflect my interdisciplinary approach, integrating security studies with broader social and developmental issues.
