Independent researcher with a PhD in Conflict Management transitioning into AI governance. My research has always centred one question: whose safety is being protected, and who is being left out? I am now applying that lens to AI governance, asking the same question of the systems and frameworks being built. Based in Uganda, targeting remote and international roles in multilateral and INGO contexts.

Connections in AI governance and policy, particularly at international organisations and INGOs. Honest guidance on realistic entry points for someone with a research background, making this pivot.

Reach out to me if you need help with qualitative research, drafting policy briefs, or translating research for non-academic audiences. Also, reach out if you are working on anything touching the Global South, specifically sub-Saharan Africa, where I can offer a grounded regional perspective and context that is often missing from these spaces.
