Areas of Expertise:

I am a gender equity strategist and program advisor with over a decade of experience working across non-profits, academic institutions, and international partnerships. My core interests lie in advancing intersectional feminist policy, strengthening participatory approaches to gender mainstreaming, and building equitable systems of accountability in both public and private sectors. Having worked in Canada, Vietnam, Armenia, and Iran, I bring a transnational lens to my work, with particular interest in feminist movement-building, the political economy of care, and ethical governance in global development. I’m eager to engage with the GADN network to exchange knowledge, contribute to collective advocacy, and deepen my involvement in policy-shaping work rooted in gender justice.
