Professional Experience:

For the past 15 years, I have worked at large and complex International Relief and Development organizations both in the U.S.A and overseas. A seasoned fundraiser, I bring an entrepreneurial approach to my work. I possess as you will see from my resume; an advanced formal education in Development Economics and accomplishments in the following fields; management with strong analytical skills, business/non-profit start up , management of regional budgets, technical /grant writing, excellent communication and negotiation skills, designing and implementation of marketing strategies and resource mobilizing skills. Perhaps one of my recent proud moments is being co-founder of a young non- profit which collects used soap from US hotels, recycles it and distributes it to vulnerable populations worldwide who can’t afford soap: www.globalsoap.org. This less than 4 year old organization is a proud recipient of CNN Heroes awards 2011.
