My foundation as a technology specialist, expert, and geek stems from a hands-on 11 years of progressive professional experience working in different capacities as an Associate lecturer, Part-time lecturer, Digital Learning Officer and currently as the Senior Information Management and Communication Technology Assistant. As an experienced and analytical professional, my work and education history have provided me with a broad range of Information Management skills. My key strengths are manifest in users and data security management, ICT, and its complex vital relationship to enhancing operational effectiveness and excellence in refugees, IDPs and migrants' setups.
I've spent most of my career applying information management and research techniques to help humanitarian actors improve their programme outcomes. As a Senior IMCT at FAP IOM, I have used predictive modelling techniques to analyze vast amounts of Family Reunification data and identify areas for improvement. During my time here, we have designed, built, and continuously customized the Microsoft Dynamics CRM database for all global German Family Reunification applicants which has reduced data security breaches by 84%.
In my work experience, I have acquired demonstrated ability in all aspects of developing troubleshooting and installation of database systems, data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). I have gained proficiency in SQL Databases, data visualization and the creation of dashboards with Power BI. I have demonstrated extensive expertise in the development of database front end with React Native and Node JS. I am extremely analytical, organized and have great interpersonal skills. My background includes compiling, organizing, and accessing valuable information and lessons learnt to drive program projects and organization success. From database management and quality control to records maintenance and general administration. I have extensive knowledge of database stats, database analysis, statistical research, and analysis of data. I excel at spearheading a full range of tasks related to data management and analysis while ensuring strict confidentiality and regulatory compliance.
Last year, I became a Modcom Certified Data Scientist Expert in Data Management and Analytics, and I'm eager to continue building my skills with more certification programs and learning opportunities.
There is a definite match between your requirements and my ability to support, analyze and manage information as well as fill analytical gaps by providing analysis of relevant data. My skills in Information Management and Data Analysis, data collection and database development and management have been finely honed, and I am confident my additional strengths will readily translate to your main goals. The chance to offer more insight into my qualifications would be most welcome. Thank you for your consideration; I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Description of Institution

Established in 1951, IOM is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.

With 175 member states, a further 8 states holding observer status and offices in over 100 countries, IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.

The IOM Constitution recognizes the link between migration and economic, social and cultural development, as well as to the right of freedom of movement.

IOM works in the four broad areas of migration management:

Migration and development
Facilitating migration
Regulating migration
Forced migration.
IOM activities that cut across these areas include the promotion of international migration law, policy debate and guidance, protection of migrants' rights, migration health and the gender dimension of migration.

IOM knows that migration has the power to transform the lives of individuals, their families, their communities and societies for the better. It is clear that the Sustainable Development Goals cannot be reached without safe, orderly and regular migration. For this reason, our vision is: to deliver on the promise of migration, while supporting the world’s most vulnerable. Migration is an integral part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which articulates several of the links between migration and sustainable development and recognizes that migrants must be taken into consideration as part of efforts to leave no one behind. The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is consistent with target 10.7 of the 2030 Agenda, through which Member States committed to cooperate internationally to facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration. As a core member of the United Nations Sustainable Development Group and Coordinator and Secretariat of United Nations Network on Migration, IOM plays a central role in ensuring effective, timely and coordinated United Nations system-wide support to Member States to enhance cooperation on international migration and maximize its contribution to sustainable development.

Delivering on the promise of migration will enable the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
This will require:
► Reducing inequality in and among countries (Goal 10) and contributing to sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth (Goal 8) through safe labour migration pathways, sustainable
livelihoods and decent work;
► Ensuring migration is always a choice by creating a more peaceful world (Goal 16) and facilitating safe, orderly and regular migration in the context of climate action (Goal 13);
► Facilitating agreements between States to ensure migration policy coherence (Goal 17) and including migrants in social (Goal 1) and health (Goal3) policies and protection schemes.

The IOM Strategic Plan 2024–2028 shows how the Organization’s activities contribute to national progress towards these and the other Sustainable Development Goals through promoting safe, orderly and regular migration
