Afterwards, she started to consult the Earthbeat Solution Foundation, which tries to give gold mine workers in Uganda a professional perspective and to bring them into the financial middle class.
Since 2020, she has been working for tbd* (freelance and remote), a purpose-oriented job hub for the social and sustainable impact sector. In the beginning, her focus was belonging & anti-discrimination; in August 2022, she was promoted to managing director.
