I am a trilingual communication professional with more than 10 years' experience working for international organizations.

After more than a decade on the African continent, I joined the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group) in Washington, D.C. as Communications Officer, Corporate Support, and more recently as Communications Officer, Corporate Messaging.

From 2019 to 2022, I was Regional Communication and Public Information Officer for Africa at the International Labour Organization (ILO), leading ILO communications on the African continent.

From 2012 to 2019, I held multiple roles at the African Development Bank in Tunisia and Côte d'Ivoire, including Principal Communication Officer, Acting Editor-in-Chief, Interim Director of Communication and External Relations, and Communication Advisor to the Vice-President overseeing regional operations.

I started my career in Canada as a magazine and web editor, travel writer, and reporter for the Calgary Herald and The Canadian Press in Vancouver and Montréal before transitioning to digital media and communications for international organizations.

I landed my first international role in 2011 with the United Nations Development Programme Regional Centre in Dakar, Senegal, supporting communication in 23 countries in West and Central Africa.

I hold an MSc in International Relations (Political Economy of Development), from the Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals, and a BA in Journalism from Ryerson University (Toronto Metropolitan University). My master's dissertation, "El Dorado or The Great Deception?", documented the human side of West African migration to Europe through the lens of Senegalese street vendors in France, Spain and Italy.

In March 2011, I presented my research findings at a roundtable on Senegalese migration in Spain hosted by UNESCO in Barcelona alongside representatives from Senegalese community organizations.

I speak English, French and Spanish.
