What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in grants and contracts management while contributing to impactful social initiatives in a collaborative environment.

With over 17 years of experience in senior contracts, finance, and grants management, I am a self-driven professional dedicated to driving positive social impact. My career has been shaped by my work with leading NGOs across Southeast Asia, where I have excelled in diverse environments, fostering collaboration and independent excellence. My expertise lies in securing grants and managing the entire lifecycle of projects funded by USAID, ensuring meticulous compliance with donor regulations.

I have a proven track record in capacity building, having trained partner organizations in robust financial management through over 50 assessments across India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. My early career experiences in disaster response with organizations like World Vision and the Spanish Red Cross have equipped me with adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and effective communication skills in crisis situations. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to maximize benefits for grant beneficiaries and fostering a strong understanding of their needs.
