I am the operations manager at the Office of Astronomy for Development, an initiative of the South African DSI and NRF with the International Astronomical Union. I m responsible for managing the office's global grants program that supports projects using science to drive sustainable development. I oversee and monitor funded projects and their social impact, as well as lead external communications and media relations. 

I have a background in engineering and space sciences. I am interested in impact investing, having recently completed the social finance course at the Oxford Said business school.
