What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role that fosters growth and allows me to leverage my financial expertise to drive organizational success.

I am a dedicated finance professional with extensive experience in financial management, operations, and strategic planning. Currently, I serve as the Manager of Finance and Operations at the Peace and Education Foundation, where I lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting initiatives that align with our organizational goals. My analytical skills allow me to identify trends and improve financial performance, ensuring compliance with grant requirements and enhancing program impact.

With a solid academic foundation, including a PhD in progress and multiple degrees in Accounts and Finance, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of financial principles and practices. My previous roles at Kanel Pharma and Linear Pharma have equipped me with the skills to manage complex financial operations, including budgeting, cash flow management, and compliance with international regulations. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to organizational success and drive impactful change.
