A strong and Inspirational Leader / Program Manager / Executive Director at Awakening Smiles Initiative [ASI] (Non-Profit) since 2011.

Possesses experience in to driving team members to greater success, scheduling, supervising, and motivating staff so that they achieve maximum efficiency. I manage high level of clients’ expectations, dealing with complex managerial problems and ensuring that targets are met. On a personal level I have a professional appearance, enthusiastic attitude and the ability to instill trust and confidence in clients.

My journey in human services didn’t start in the office desk. It all began in the villages, schools, prisons, hospitals, and homes — places where hope was often dim but still alive. I worked directly with the most vulnerable: children in and out of school, women escaping prostitution, severe domestic violence victims, the sick with no visitors, orphans, and families living in crisis.

These experiences shaped me into a compassionate listener and a solution-oriented problem solver. I organized school reintegration programs, led prison visitations offering hygiene kits and spiritual support, and supported hospital patients who are alone and abandoned by their families. I’ve walked door-to-door to assess needs, deliver food, and provide emotional care for widows and single parents, the ill and elderly.

Over time, I saw that many physical needs were rooted in emotional trauma and broken relationships, so I pursued training in basic counseling and conflict resolution and later a nursing Assistant. I began mentoring youth, guiding couples, and offering spiritual and emotional support to those battling shame, grief, or loneliness.

Whether I was reuniting a child with their family, guiding a person to leave an abusive situation, or counseling a young person in prison to reclaim his future, my work has always been about restoring dignity and renewing hope.

At Awakening Smiles Initiative [ASI] (Non-Profit) am involved in strategic planning of the organization by working with the Board of Directors, operating within a budget, overseeing the day to day administration of the organization, supervising of staff, head of the health and social care department, program development and implementation.
