What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a mission-driven organization that values financial integrity and growth.

With over four years of experience in financial management, I am a dedicated finance professional specializing in grants management and analysis. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have honed my skills in budgeting, financial reporting, and cash flow management. I thrive in international, mission-driven organizations, contributing to impactful financial processes that ensure compliance with donor requirements.

Currently, as a Finance Officer at the International Rescue Committee, I manage financial processes, prepare operating budgets, and support grant partner capacity building. My previous roles have equipped me with a strong foundation in financial systems and compliance, allowing me to implement improvements that enhance data quality and accessibility. I am committed to leveraging my analytical skills to drive transparency and accuracy in financial reporting.
