Sandra Estephan

I am a compliance and public health professional with experience leading program-level risk mitigation and technical health assessments for non-governmental organizations. I combine regulatory compliance expertise with frontline public-health practice to improve program quality and community wellbeing.

In my current role with an international NGO I prepare compliance reports, conduct physical verifications of program-supported facilities, support enhanced due diligence, and serve as a focal point for investigations and vetting processes. I regularly participate in regional compliance meetings and help develop administrative, contractual, and grant procedures that meet Lebanese law and donor regulations.

I led efforts that brought a mental health department under the Ministry of Public Health umbrella in Lebanon and secured EU funding to procure essential mental health medications during the national crisis. I have detected and investigated fraud cases that resulted in multi-million-dollar savings for my organization and authored a thesis published on NGO sustainability in Lebanon.

I am fluent in English, French, and Arabic, open to relocation, and motivated to join mission-driven teams where I can continue to strengthen compliance frameworks, conduct investigations, and advance community health outcomes.
