Dedicated program manager focused on human rights and development.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced program manager with a strong background in human rights and democratization. My journey began with a BA in Marketing from the University of Jordan, which laid the foundation for my career in social impact. I have worked extensively in various roles, including as a Program Manager at Aman Space, where I led organizational development and fundraising initiatives, ensuring the effective implementation of projects that advocate for women's and youth rights in Jordan.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to fostering collaboration among stakeholders, including local communities, NGOs, and governmental bodies. My role as a Steering Committee Member for Hivos has further honed my strategic oversight skills, allowing me to guide programs towards achieving their objectives while ensuring compliance with financial and administrative standards. I am passionate about empowering marginalized communities and have facilitated numerous trainings on gender equality and social inclusion, impacting activists and organizations across the region.
