Manager
I have worked in the Voluntary sector both as a volunteer and as a paid worker with a diversity of user groups. I was Manager at SHAKTI Women’s Aid, tackling violence against minority ethnic women for a number of years. I then joined the Council of Minority Ethnic Voluntary Sector Organisations (CEMVO) as Capacity Building Officer supporting the BME voluntary sector throughout Scotland. Subsequently, I took up the Manager’s post at SCOREscotland in December 2006. Prior to all this, I was volunteer Project Worker at Amnesty International’s Scotland Office. My remit included setting up a Scottish Children’s Human Rights Network.
I also volunteered for OXFAM Scotland and YWCA Roundabout Centre.
I have an Honours Degree in Social Anthropology with Development, a Post Graduate diploma in Community Education and a CEMVO sponsored MBA in Capacity Building.
