International development leader who is a bridge-builder, belonging creator and pursuer of excellence. Demonstrated ability to build strong relationships and drive performance not only in herself but in those she leads. A tenacious learner, problem-solver, and question asker with global experience and a passion for serving those around her.My magic is in developing relationships. I am high-empathy and deeply relational, and I thrive when I'm connecting to people, finding their pain points, and giving them hope by providing solutions to their pain points. I am a connector and a fast learner with high emotional intelligence, customer service abilities, and a drive for excellence. I have been in the International Development space since 2009. I have worked in government, nonprofit, humanitarian relief, and fundraising and have experience working with nonprofit CEOs, government agency heads, and local partners. My education is as high-level as development economics and as grassroots as nonprofit management and leadership. I have seven years of international experience based heavily in grant facilitation and management, and a solid and growing track record in meeting and exceeding monthly goals. I am passionate and eager to learn and enjoy bringing life and energy to what I do to make the world a better place.
