About

With a strong foundation in social work and social administration from Ndejje University, I am set to complete my Bachelor's degree in 2024. My academic journey is complemented by practical experience as an intern at Uganda Youth Development Link (UYDEL), where I engaged with vulnerable youth, conducted needs assessments, and developed personalized support plans. I facilitated workshops on life skills, championed youth rights, and connected them with essential resources. My role involved coordinating group sessions to enhance leadership and camaraderie among participants. I am also pursuing training as a virtual assistant at ALX Academy in 2024, aiming to expand my skill set in supporting individuals and organizations. My dedication to empowering youth and fostering community development drives my professional endeavors.
