What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and impactful project management.

I am an experienced Coordinator with over 5 years of expertise in project management and team leadership. My career has been defined by my ability to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and foster collaboration across diverse teams. I have a proven track record of successfully managing multiple grants simultaneously while adhering to critical deadlines, showcasing my strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Currently, as a Senior Grants Coordinator at Innovations for Poverty Action, I manage grants exceeding $8 million, providing operational support and ensuring compliance with contractual requirements. My role involves coordinating sub-award due diligence, conducting training for new staff, and problem-solving complex contractual situations. I pride myself on my strong communication skills and my ability to positively impact my organization through effective team management and strategic planning.

Throughout my career, I have also held positions such as Associate Grants Coordinator and Field Manager, where I developed skills in budgeting, auditing, and project management. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to impactful projects that drive social change and improve community outcomes.
