About

I am an Information & Database Coordinator with a strong background in IT systems, web technologies, and digital infrastructure. With over eight years of experience in IT support, website administration, and technology solutions, I specialize in managing information systems, databases, and digital platforms that support data-driven decision-making.

In my current role with the National Gender-Based Violence Secretariat (NGBVS) under the Department for Community Development and Religion, I focus on developing and managing data collection systems, centralized databases, and reporting tools that improve program monitoring, data management, and organizational reporting. I work closely with teams to design data templates, maintain centralized databases, and support the visualization of data through dashboards and reports. Alongside my data and information management work, I bring experience in website development and administration using CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, as well as IT infrastructure management including hosting, server administration, and network systems. I am passionate about using technology and data to strengthen systems, streamline processes, and support organizations in making informed decisions. I enjoy building practical solutions that connect data, technology, and people to improve efficiency and impact.
