About

I help nonprofits secure the funding they need to create meaningful change in their communities. With over 13 years of experience, I’ve worked with organizations across the US, Middle East, West Africa, and Europe, addressing challenges in advancing human rights, combating systemic inequities, and supporting marginalized communities.

My Background

I hold a PhD in Politics and International Studies from SOAS, University of London, and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Louisville. My research background equips me with a critical understanding of the structural and systemic forces that shape policy, governance, and the funding landscape. I bring this knowledge to every project, ensuring proposals are compelling and aligned with your institution’s priorities and the lived realities of the communities you serve.

My Mission

I’m passionate about partnering with nonprofits that amplify underrepresented voices and deliver critical resources to underserved communities in the US and the Global South. As part of my commitment to justice, I offer a special incentive to organizations serving Palestine, recognizing the barriers they face in accessing funding and resources.
