Hello,
I am a development practitioner specialising in human rights and violence against women and girls (VAWG) sectors, with interests spanning global affairs and development policy. I champion design thinking and partnership-working to address complex global challenges. I offer consultancy in fundraising, strategic communications, impact evaluation, and strategy development, and mentor individuals globally who are affected by violence, conflict, political instability, and displacement on education and career pathways.​​
About Me
I am Riya – a bit of an all-in-one pack. You’ll often find me analysing, writing about pressing issues, and standing at the crossroads of designing solutions for complex development challenges. My work weaves together design thinking, strategic communications, policy, and systems change to create impact that lasts. I love taking on challenges that need both creativity and strategy, and I’m always looking for projects that take me out of my comfort zone. Open to conversations, collaborations, and meaningful engagements.
