As NCRC's Senior Project Manager, I managed 30+ projects with community organizations, institutions of higher learning, government agencies, and corporations with ultimate responsibility for more than $600,000 in project funding. I did so by building and maintaining client relationships; delivering timely, effective communications; and coordinating diverse teams of trainers, facilitators, and staff. By conducting context analyses to identify historical and current drivers of conflict, we were able to design and implement effective intervention strategies including multi-stakeholder mediations, facilitated dialogue processes, and training workshops.

Global

As the Senior Program Manager at the Karuna Center for Peacebuilding, I advance the organization's work to bridge divides to build sustainable peace in areas at risk for violent conflict by designing and implementing multi-year programs, leading peacebuilding trainings, and providing conflict analysis to national and multilateral organizations. We do this by working closely with local partners and building the capacity of communities to interrupt cycles of conflict, recognize shared needs, and prevent the spread of violent extremism. In my role, I develop Karuna's programs through fundraising and design and provide technical and financial management during program implementation.
