I am a finance professional turned certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with over a decade of expertise in financial governance, project financing, and international programme delivery. Currently serving as Senior Project Finance Associate at UN-IOM, I bridge financial discipline with agile project leadership to deliver complex, multimillion-dollar initiatives. My growing focus on equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) ensures I not only deliver results but also create sustainable, people-centered impact I specialize in translating project vision into actionable plans, managing dependencies, facilitating communication across distributed teams, and ensuring that delivery aligns with organizational priorities and timelines. With strong command of Agile, Scrum, hybrid, and traditional PM frameworks, I bring structure to fast-moving environments and clarity to complex programs.

Fluent in tools like JIRA, MS Project, Oracle ERP, SAP ERP, and Atlassian Suite, I thrive in environments where innovation meets accountability—and where projects don’t just get done, they succeed. I’m passionate about driving transparent, efficient, and financially sound project outcomes—and I thrive in fast-paced, impact-driven environments where both financial integrity and delivery excellence matter
