With nearly a decade of experience in international development, I am a passionate and skilled Senior Programmes Coordinator. I design, implement, and evaluate social impact projects worldwide, develop networks and communities of practice, and mobilize resources to advance social inclusion, dignity, and justice.
My core competencies include international cooperation, grants management, alliance building, capacity strengthening, diversity and inclusion, and innovative programme design. I have pioneered participatory grantmaking, and funding models that empower social movements and promote civic engagement among youth, women, and LGBTQ+ communities.
I am also a recognized civil society expert and thought leader, contributing to broadening civic space, establishing alternative financial sustainability models, and facilitating the growth of decentralized networks. I represented CIVICUS at the Resource Alliance, the Elevate Children Funders Network, the Youth Collective, the UN Foundation, and the UN Major Group for Children and Youth Board of Directors and Steering Committees.
I am proficient in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, and experienced in working in a multi-cultural, multi-national diverse environment.
