At The Kaizen Company, a Tetra Tech company, I coordinated operations, finance and compliance across five USAID-funded awards in Niger, Pakistan and the US, within a portfolio exceeding USD 30 million. I reviewed contracts and legal documents against FAR, AIDAR and award terms, and tracked budgets, deliverables and commitments.
I introduced process improvements and tools to simplify workflows, reduce errors and improve consistency across home office and field teams. I also supported projects from start-up through implementation to close-out, including procurement, partner vetting and the 2025 portfolio wind-down.
At the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Islamabad, I coordinated bilateral development cooperation between German federal ministries and Pakistani government institutions. I organised high-level meetings and delegation visits, and produced policy analysis on governance and reform.
My work also included managing the Micro Project Scheme, assessing grant applications and monitoring implementation. I hold an M.A. in Governance and Public Policy from the University of Passau as a DAAD scholar, and bring experience across government, donor and implementing teams.
