What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a project or programme coordination role where I can apply my experience in governance, compliance, stakeholder management, reporting, risk management, and process improvement within a structured, purpose-driven organisation.

At South African Revenue Service (SARS), I coordinate workstream plans, milestones, dependencies, and governance reporting against approved enterprise delivery plans. I also championed Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools to support meeting summaries and document drafting and streamline presentation workflows.

At USAID, I coordinated operations, compliance monitoring, and reporting for PEPFAR-funded health portfolios with annual investments exceeding $500 million. I tracked reporting deadlines and inputs, maintained audit-ready records, and supported budget and procurement coordination.
