Personal Statement

I have a bachelor’s degree in accounting, and certificates in Project Management, Human Resources Management. I have 15 years of experience in health project management funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Global Funds, and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) among others.

My first job was fieldwork to educate and inform young people on reproductive health and family education. This experience helped me become a better leader for my financial team. A financial professional should have a good understanding of the activities and the processes for every project he/she is leading. I am a Financial Operations Manager at the Foundation for Reproductive Health and Family Education (FOSREF), a Haitian NGO. I am a quick learner and a detailed organizer. Positions
