What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a challenging role in a dynamic organization.

At MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERS-IRAQ/SYRIA, I oversee country-level financial strategies, internal controls, budgeting, and consolidated reporting. I analyze financial performance and budget variances to support decisions and improve operational efficiency.

At ACTION AGAINST HUNGER-SUDAN, I oversaw finance and administrative operations, including financial planning and reporting, treasury, and audits. I also developed HR policies and oversaw recruitment and employee development.

Earlier, I worked in finance roles at MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERS in Kenya, Lebanon, and Pakistan, as well as at the French Red Cross in Iraq and other organizations. My work has included accounting, budgeting, financial reporting, internal controls, and training; I have also taught accounting and audit subjects in Pakistan and Dubai since 2013.
