The combination of these skills has been best put to use in her role as Head of Fundraising for The Topsy Foundation NPC.
Her journey with Topsy started in 2017 as a volunteer. Being part of an organisation that provides services to the vulnerable, particularly women and children, is what attracted her to Topsy. Since taking over the role at the beginning of 2022, she has been steering the organisation to be more relatable and reachable through the use of digital platforms.
As one of the Non-Executive Directors of the Reaboka Foundation, her goal for the organisation is to be self-sustained while expanding its reach and empowering more women to be self-reliant through the skills taught by Reaboka.
