What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my financial expertise, leadership skills, and passion for empowering women to drive growth and make a meaningful impact.

As a seasoned entrepreneur and women's empowerment advocate, I bring a unique blend of corporate finance, hospitality, construction, and retail expertise to the table. With a strong background in banking, I've successfully managed large-scale projects, delivering profit and driving growth. My experience in managing daily financial operations, providing general office support, and leading staff training has equipped me with the skills to excel in fast-paced environments.

With certifications in Dementia Care and Customer Service, I'm committed to creating positive experiences for clients and stakeholders. My passion for empowering women is evident in my work with DAWN PESW, where I've mobilized women in the constituency, organized events, and developed strategies to advance values and objectives.

Throughout my career, I've demonstrated exceptional organizational abilities, financial acumen, and leadership skills, earning recognition awards for my achievements. I'm a driven and results-oriented professional dedicated to making a meaningful impact in my next role.
