WORK HISTORY
Board Director @Fòs Feminista
Committed to the steward and fiduciary responsibilities of supporting community-led approaches to regressive policies impeding on the sexual and reproductive rights of vulnerable women, girls, and gender-diverse persons internationally. Tasked with building and strengthening partnerships, coalitions, and movements to advance sustainable development through strategic foresight; financial and operational oversight; resource mobilization and fundraising; monitoring of national, regional, and international policies; and advocacy in multilateral, intergovernmental, and other diplomatic fora.Alongside our 190 committed partner organizations and allies, I provided technical support in the co-design and implementation of an intersectional feminist, anti-colonial, Global South-led alliance model ensuring the annual delivery of 23,3M sexual and reproductive health services through community-based contraceptive access; continuity of care in fragile and conflict-affected states; intergenerational community health promotion; and legal/political advocacy efforts, noting 102 positive outcomes in the past year. As part of Fos Feminista’s broader strategy, I have advised the Accountability & Learning, Partnership, Resource Mobilization, Financial Sustainability, Legal, and Strategic frameworks. Furthermore, I have advised the INNOVA Health Supplies partnership, a social enterprise catalyzing the transformation of local reproductive health supply chains and solutions, to expand access to affordable, reliable, high-quality contraceptives and other products for organizations across 26 countries.
