I am a results-oriented professional with experience in partnerships and project management in the non-profit sector. I can work independently or as part of a team, ensuring timely and quality work while balancing management duties. Passionate about social development, I am focused on advancing education, women’s empowerment, and social justice.
Additionally, I bring consultancy experience, having worked on projects aimed at improving public education in Pakistan. I have collaborated with both federal and provincial education entities to enhance data management practices, support capacity-building initiatives, and contribute to the development of educational policies.
I oversee and manage major donor portfolios and grants of TCF's country partners, including the UK and US, ensuring alignment, compliance, and successful execution of programs. I collaborate with cross-functional teams (such as finance, programs, and regional units) to monitor the progress of donor-funded initiatives, ensuring objectives are met and any issues are addressed promptly. Additionally, I prepare detailed progress, impact, and closing reports for grants and donors. I also coordinate the preparation of grant proposals, MOUs, and donor agreements, while tracking deliverables to ensure compliance with contractual terms.
I was part of the Technical Assistance team for the Data and Research in Education (DARE) project, managed by the World Bank and funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
DARE aimed to standardise and strengthen data management processes at federal and provincial levels in the education sector in Pakistan and support the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MoFE&PT), Pakistan, while also ensuring national data comparability and international reporting on SDG 4 indicators.
