TanzaniaWhat I'm looking for
At USAID/Tanzania, I manage acquisition and assistance award closeout, de-obligations, modifications, and compliance under FAR, 2 CFR, ADS, and Mission procedures. I currently support the $19 million Tanzania Monitoring Evaluation Learning and Adaptation Activity and serve as a COR for institutional support contracts worth $3.9 million.
Across more than 10 years in federal contracting, I’ve administered post-award actions, led closeout guidance, supported financial and compliance reviews, managed GLAAS/PRISM and CPARS processes, and helped reprogram $3.2 million in cancelling funds in fiscal year 2024. I bring practical problem-solving, responsive customer service, and experience supporting procurement efforts that obligated more than $200 million into critical programs.
