I have over five years of experience in financial monitoring, grants management, budgeting, and compliance. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with diverse teams to ensure transparency, accuracy, and efficiency in financial operations. My background has equipped me with a strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of financial systems and donor requirements.

Looking ahead, my goal is to continue growing professionally by expanding my knowledge in administrative coordination and student services. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to support educational initiatives, improve operational efficiency, and contribute to creating a positive experience for students and stakeholders alike. I value continuous learning and am committed to making a meaningful impact in every role I take on.
