WORK HISTORY
Program Manager - Emergency Management & Wildfire @Usda Forest Service
As a Program Manager with the USDA Forest Service Office of International Programs, I lead the design and implementation of natural resource and disaster management initiatives in partnership with USAID, the U.S. Department of State, and foreign government counterparts. I coordinate technical cooperation in post-conflict and developing regions, recruiting subject matter experts in forestry, wildfire response, and social science to advance field projects. I develop and manage multimillion-dollar project portfolios, write strategic proposals, and oversee budgets and cooperative agreements. My work involves close collaboration with embassies, NGOs, and academic institutions, ensuring program goals align with U.S. foreign policy and host country priorities. With a strong grounding in peacebuilding and community resilience, I help shape sectoral strategies and evaluate international assistance programs for long-term impact.
