I protect the pulse of the planet through my role in support of navigating change towards impact for which proper planning, evidence-based feedback and reflexive practice are crucial. Personally, I also follow environment-friendly practices and urge others in my circles to do the same.

What I enjoy most is the regional aspect of ICIMOD’s work and the fact that it is based on cutting age science.

I’m passionate about traveling and exploring new areas. I love reading newspapers and books in my leisure time.

I hold an MSc in statistics, an MA in sociology, a BSc in forestry and a BSc in physical science. I’ve worked with bilateral and multilateral agencies and have extensive experience across all of the major domains of results-based management, monitoring and evaluation. I have a proven track record of playing an instrumental role in bringing a gender and equity focus to several organisations for the effective management of gendered outcomes.
