About Me

Doris currently serves as Principal Program Lead at Ed Impact Africa, the successor organisation to STIR Education following its transition to the Ed Impact Africa Foundation. In this role, she provides strategic leadership across programme implementation and stakeholder engagement, working with education actors at local, regional and national levels.

Her expertise includes education, programme leadership, partnerships, systems strengthening, teacher professional development, stakeholder engagement, monitoring, evaluation and learning. She is passionate about creating spaces where people can learn from one another, use evidence to strengthen practice and turn good ideas into meaningful action.

Doris is motivated by the belief that meaningful change begins with people. She finds purpose in supporting teachers, leaders and communities to build the confidence, skills and relationships needed to lead change themselves. She believes that work is not only about delivering programmes, but it is about building people, relationships and systems that make lasting change possible.

As a management professional with a Master's degree in Management Studies, she is committed to contributing to an education system where teachers are empowered, leaders are equipped, partnerships are purposeful, and every child has a better opportunity to learn and thrive.
