HELLO,
I’M GLAD YOU’RE HERE!
Welcome to my world of impactful storytelling, strategic advocacy, and transformative policy-making. I am Tamara, a seasoned development communications and public policy practitioner dedicated to shaping narratives that drive social change and inspire action.
My career trajectory is defined by the intersection of communications, advocacy, and public policy. I firmly believe in the potential of well-crafted messages to shift perspectives, build movements, and create lasting impact. Whether leading innovative campaigns or driving policy initiatives, my goal is always to foster positive change.
With extensive experience across the Asia-Pacific region, I have built a robust network and collaborated with a diverse range of stakeholders, including governments, policymakers, civil society organizations, think tanks, and academia.
This personal website serves as a platform to share my career journey, insights, and reflections on the quest for a more equitable and just future.
My approach to public policy and communication is grounded in
three core principles:
Purpose
Elevating the voices of communities and stakeholders and integrating their stories into the core of public policy narrative is one of the reasons why I do what I do.
Empathy
By empathizing with the communities’ experiences, hardships, and aspirations, I strive to advocate for policies that genuinely address their needs and foster inclusive development.
Strategic Collaboration
Partnering with diverse stakeholders, from local communities to international organizations, government officials to CSOs, to create impactful solutions and amplify the reach of the stories I tell.
