Summary

I have 10+ years of experience in project management, operations, and risk management for global health NGOs. I am passionate about working with people and organizations to develop and refine the systems and strategies that help them maximize impact. Most recently, I led the operations, risk management, and compliance functions across Sub-Saharan Africa for Grassroot Soccer (GRS), an adolescent health organization leveraging the power of soccer to equip young people with health information, services, and mentorship. Prior to joining GRS, I worked with John Snow, Inc. (JSI) overseeing multimillion dollar global health programs in India, Pakistan, and Uganda; and in public health research and emergency medicine. I have a BS in Health Sciences and an MPH in Biostatistics with a Certificate in Pharmaceuticals. I have lived and worked in six countries and am proficient in Spanish and Portuguese. I have work authorization in the USA, South Africa, and Brazil.
