Professional Expertise
My work is shaped by lived experience, grounded in technical expertise, and guided by a commitment to community leadership. Across more than a decade in the HIV response, I have built strategies, tools, and partnerships that center dignity, equity, and the wisdom of people living with HIV. Each piece of my work is rooted in a belief that communities are not merely beneficiaries of the HIV response. They are its leaders, experts, and architects.
This portfolio brings together a record of how I think, how I lead, and how I contribute to movements that imagine a more just and compassionate world. This space reflects that I work with empathy, clarity and purpose, and with a commitment to building systems that allow PLHIV and key populations to lead.
Community leadership, advocacy & movement building
I support communities to lead with confidence, clarity, and collective purpose. My work focuses on strengthening PLHIV and key population leadership, building cohesive regional movements, and creating the systems, tools, and spaces that allow communities to shape decisions that affect their lives. I bring over a decade of experience working with networks across Asia and the Pacific, helping them influence policy, mobilize resources, and participate meaningfully in national, regional, and global HIV responses.
This approach is grounded in lived experience and informed by years of supporting community-led organizations to design programs, advocate for change, and build sustainable movements.
Strategic convening design & facilitation
I design and facilitate strategic convenings that bring communities, policymakers, donors, and technical partners into meaningful dialogue. My approach centers PLHIV and key population leadership, ensuring that community wisdom shapes agendas, decisions, and outcomes. With over a decade of experience leading regional and global convenings, I create spaces that are purposeful, inclusive, and grounded in rights‑based principles.
Technical writing and knowledge synthesis
I translate complex technical guidance into clear, accessible, and community‑centered knowledge products. My work focuses on making information usable for PLHIV networks, key population organizations, and advocates across Asia and the Pacific. With over a decade of experience developing toolkits, policy briefs, MEL frameworks, and strategic information materials, I specialize in turning evidence, data, and technical recommendations into practical tools that communities can apply in real‑world advocacy and programming.
Rights-based advocacy
I advance rights‑based advocacy that centers the dignity, agency, and lived experience of people living with HIV and key populations. My work focuses on strengthening community participation in policy processes, shaping enabling environments, and ensuring that programs and decisions reflect human rights principles. With over a decade of experience supporting regional networks, conducting legal environment reviews, and engaging with multilateral agencies, I help communities influence systems that affect their health, wellbeing, and futures.
Partnership building
I build strategic, trust‑based partnerships that strengthen community‑led HIV responses and expand opportunities for collective impact. My work focuses on cultivating relationships with donors, UN agencies, governments, and regional networks, ensuring that collaborations are grounded in shared values, community priorities, and rights‑based approaches. With over a decade of experience maintaining high‑level partnerships and supporting multi‑country initiatives, I help organizations position themselves as credible, effective, and influential actors in the HIV response.
Organisational Strengthening and Resource Development
I support community‑led and rights‑based organizations to strengthen their systems, improve performance, and grow sustainably. My work focuses on building internal structures, developing practical tools, and mobilizing resources that enable organizations to deliver high‑quality programs and influence policy. With over a decade of experience leading restructuring processes, designing toolkits, and securing multi‑year funding, I help organizations become more resilient, strategic, and aligned with their long‑term goals.
