Research
Highlights experience producing, managing and contributing to research and communications outputs in Cambodia, Uganda and the Asia-Pacific region. Work includes field studies, programme evaluations, policy briefs and other reports, both authored and edited. For authored reports, I conducted research, wrote content and ensured ethical, culturally sensitive presentation of findings. For edited reports, I refined structure, clarity and presentation to make research accessible and professional for international development audiences, supporting programme design, advocacy and donor engagement.
