What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to make a meaningful impact.

I am a dedicated finance professional with extensive experience in operations and project management, currently serving as the Head of Finance & Operations at STAR Foundation. My role involves supervising a talented team, providing strategic financial advice, and fostering relationships with key stakeholders to ensure alignment with our mission. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive efficiency and compliance in financial operations.

Previously, I held various finance and operations roles at FHI 360/USAID, where I successfully managed financial systems, supported project implementation, and provided training to staff. My academic background includes a Master of Science in Accounting from The University of the West Indies, where I graduated with distinction. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my recent certification in Blockchain Essentials from Cornell University.
