What I'm looking for

I seek roles in international development or donor-funded programs where I can lead project delivery, ensure financial compliance, and support monitoring and evaluation in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.

I am a project manager and financial controller with extensive experience in international development, donor-funded projects, and financial reporting across Latin America, Europe, and global contexts.

I have managed EU and GIZ projects, prepared donor proposals and invoices, conducted external audit preparation, and used ERP Maconomy for project tracking, ensuring compliance and timely implementation.

I bring multilingual fluency in Spanish, English, and German, a CPA background, and certifications in program management and gender studies, focused on delivering accountable, results-oriented project delivery.
