I am a Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) Professional with over 20 years of experience in Cambodia and the Asia region. I specialise in designing and leading MEAL systems that are strategic, participatory, and purpose-driven — ensuring that evidence leads to learning, adaptation, and impact.
My work spans education, health, child protection, livelihoods, and justice sectors with local and international NGOs. I have led national and regional evaluations, built partner capacity in data systems, and developed learning frameworks that go beyond compliance - helping programs reflect, improve, and meet donor expectations.
I bring a calm, collaborative leadership style and deep experience working with governments, civil society, and cross-functional teams. I am passionate about data for decision-making, strengthening accountability, and promoting learning cultures that serve both people and purpose.
