About Me

My Work

I was part of the Core Organising Team 2022 for Wikimania. Before Wikimania, I was the Scholarship Lead for the Wiki Indaba Conference in 2021, and I additionally supported the communications department at the conference.

I have been organising WikiForHumanRights and WikiForRefugees from 2019 to 2024. I am leading the organisation of Wiki Loves Earth from 2022 to 2025. In 2024 and 2025, I led the organisation of Arts and Feminism in Uganda.

Additionally, I have been involved in global advocacy work of the Wikimedia Foundation on the Global Digital Compact and Copyright and Intellectual Property work.
