Public Speaking
My educational background in law, with a focus on human rights, and my experience in non-governmental, governmental, and academic roles have enabled me to excel in advocacy and stakeholder negotiation. As a spokesperson for various organizations, I have effectively engaged with diverse audiences, ranging from experts in international human rights bodies to grassroots communities, academics, and public servants. I have delivered talks and represented institutions on more than 90 occasions, both locally, regionally, and internationally, on topics spanning children's rights, women's rights (particularly gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive rights), and consumer rights.
