I have experience in conducting needs assessments, designing and delivering training programs, and monitoring project outcomes to ensure sustainable impact. My ability to engage with diverse stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, and local communities, has been instrumental in driving the success of these initiatives.
My expertise includes
Designing and implementing livelihood strategies tailored to local contexts.
Providing technical support to beneficiaries in areas such as business planning, financial literacy, and market linkages.

Preparing detailed reports on project progress, outcomes, and lessons learned.
In addition to my technical skills, I have demonstrated leadership abilities by coordinating with cross-functional teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously. My volunteer work with Alkhidmat Foundation and CDRS during emergency response operations has further strengthened my capacity to work under pressure and adapt to challenging environments.
