What I'm looking for

I seek a mission-driven organization role where I can lead program development, strengthen donor relations, manage operations, and drive measurable impact.

I am an executive and program development professional with 6+ years of experience in operations management, program management, and stakeholder engagement within nonprofit and mission-driven organizations. I combine strong financial management, CRM-driven donor relations, and program design to support organizational growth and measurable outcomes.

In my current roles I manage program delivery and welfare for beneficiaries, design individualized development plans, create and track monthly budgets and expense reports, and serve as the primary stakeholder liaison. I have supported CEO operations, executed successful email and social campaigns, integrated CRM systems, and contributed to substantial year-over-year increases in donor revenue.

I have a proven record in grants and proposal writing, securing funds for program expansion and specific initiatives, and in process improvement, KPI tracking, and outcome measurement. I bring cross-cultural collaboration experience and a results-focused approach to building sustainable programs and strengthening donor relationships.
