Professional Experience: |
A 17-year career in global development driven by an inherent curiosity about how people communicate, surmount barriers, blend ideas, and relate.
My expertise lies in cultivating cross-cultural relationships to boost collaborative efforts with and between diverse partners.
As a skilled communicator and trusted liaison, I bring a deep understanding of multilateral partnerships, relationship management, and how to navigate cross-cultural nuances in multinational projects and programs. My fluency in Spanish and English, coupled with my ability to build rapport easily, has been instrumental in my knack for program and project analysis.
My professional journey has taken me to various corners of the world, including Australia, Austria, Mexico, and Indonesia. This diverse experience has not only broadened my horizons but also deepened my understanding of different cultural contexts. I've had the privilege of delivering projects in a wide range of countries, including Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Indonesia, the UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Lebanon, Jordan, Thailand, Cambodia, the Solomon Islands, South Africa, Malawi, and many more.
I am a bridge builder, analytical project executor and connector. I am passionate about strengthening relationships and collaborative endeavours between organisations across regions to achieve programmatic objectives.
My diverse experiences, coupled with my language skills, continue to enrich relationships and advance cross-cultural competencies.
