She is passionate about Women’s involvement in Peace and Conflict discussions. Her work in gender equality and SRHR advocacy has earned her opportunities to represent women and youth voices on several national and international platforms such as UN Commission on Population and Development convened by UNFPA HQ.

She hopes to see a world where women and girls will dream and be whatever they want to be and where all forms of violence against women and girls no longer exist.
