What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values financial integrity and offers growth opportunities.

I am a seasoned finance professional with over 10 years of experience in grants management, financial reporting, and compliance within international non-profit organizations. My career has been marked by a commitment to financial integrity and timely reporting, which has supported program success through strategic financial leadership. I have successfully worked with various donors, including USAID, UNFPA, and the Gates Foundation, ensuring compliance and effective financial planning.

Throughout my career, I have held key roles such as Senior Finance Officer at the International Center for Reproductive Health and Finance Officer at BBC Media Action. In these positions, I contributed to statutory and project audits, managed donor reports, and trained non-finance staff on financial rules. My expertise in financial systems, including Dynamics 365 and QuickBooks, has enabled me to streamline processes and enhance reporting accuracy.

I am passionate about training and capacity building, ensuring that teams are equipped with the necessary skills to manage finances effectively. I am now looking to leverage my extensive experience in a challenging new role that allows me to contribute to impactful projects while fostering financial accountability and transparency.
