Previous experience
I have been actively involved in several advocacy activities with the Lady Ellen Women's Aid Foundation: An institution that aims at handling issues of women and girls' violence, abuse, and other human rights issues, by accepting complaints, serving as legal advisor, reporting human rights violations to the Police, and transferring cases to the Legal Aid Board. I had also worked as a researcher for the BDO Advocacy department in Sierra Leone.
My passion for human rights grew through my involvement in reporting on transitional justice issues, monitoring and advocating for press freedom, freedom of expression, and the safety and security of journalists.

Position prior to the programme
I was serving as the Programs & Research Assistant of the Media Reform Coordinating Group in Sierra Leone.
