  Primarily through the Social and Human Sciences (SHS) & Communication and Information (CI) sectors, I managed and supported several capacity building and small grants programs, and networking events aimed at enhancing the leadership skills and participation of youth in South and Southeast Asia. Specifically, I designed and implemented programs on youth-led research, policy development, intercultural exchange, advocacy, and media literacy. I also actively produced communications and advocacy content aimed at raising awareness of issues facing vulnerable youth in Southeast Asia (see sample below). Through my program management work, I regularly designed and managed budgets/grants, conducted regular monitoring and reporting, coordinated various teams across several countries, and evaluated the implementation and outputs/outcomes of the projects.
