I have successfully managed complex financial processes and led initiatives that improved cash flow management and streamlined payment processes.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to deliver accurate financial reports within tight deadlines and have played a key role in capacity building and staff training. My experience includes supporting financial operations for USAID-funded programs and implementing mobile money transfer systems, which significantly reduced payment processing times. I am eager to leverage my strategic insights and operational expertise in a senior financial leadership role to contribute to organizational growth and success.
