What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can write proposals and grants, contribute research expertise, and manage client projects in collaborative, impact-driven teams.

I am an experienced academic and grant writer with a strong track record in proposal development, research projects, and client relationship management. I have worked across education, NGOs, and business sectors—writing proposals, articles, speeches, and managing project deliverables to secure funding and drive impact.

My roles have included grant associate responsibilities—sourcing and assessing grant opportunities, drafting proposals, reporting, and ensuring client satisfaction—alongside administrative support, sales, and event coordination. I bring strong communication, time management, and teamwork skills, and a demonstrated ability to deliver results in fast-paced, mission-driven environments.
