Project Manager with expertise in international affairs and gender issues.
ArgentinaWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated Project Manager with a strong background in international affairs and gender expertise, I have successfully managed projects for EU and GIZ, ensuring timely and effective implementation. My experience includes developing financial proposals, monitoring budgets, and preparing invoices for donors and partners. I am proficient in utilizing ERP systems like Maconomy for project management and financial tracking, which has allowed me to maintain compliance with financial regulations and conduct thorough external audits.
My academic background includes a Master's degree in Gender and Latin American Studies from the Free University of Berlin and a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Buenos Aires. I have also gained valuable experience through internships, including at Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, where I focused on WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) projects. My ability to adapt and work in multicultural environments has been enhanced by my language skills in Spanish, English, and German, allowing me to effectively communicate and collaborate across diverse teams.
