What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my grants management expertise while contributing to meaningful projects that promote sustainability and community development.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in grants management and project coordination across various sectors, including environmental conservation and social programs. My academic background includes an MBA and a Multilingual Bachelor of Arts in Business and International Relations, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in both technical and financial aspects of project management.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed multiple projects simultaneously, overseeing budgets totaling over $50 million. My role at the Wildlife Conservation Society involved ensuring compliance with donor requirements and fostering relationships with key stakeholders. I am passionate about using my skills to drive impactful projects that contribute to sustainable development and community empowerment.
