Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in project management, strategic sourcing, and supplier management. I have successfully managed procurements for significant projects funded by organizations such as the Global Fund and USAID, ensuring compliance with regulations and delivering results even under challenging circumstances. My analytical skills allow me to evaluate market conditions and vendor performance effectively, while my negotiation abilities help me secure favorable terms for my organization.

I believe in the importance of building strong relationships with vendors and colleagues, as collaboration is key to successful procurement. I am eager to continue my journey in a role that offers a supportive work environment and opportunities for further skill diversification.
