Senior Program Coordinator

I am an international exchange professional with expertise in administrative tasks, travel logistics, event planning, program design and implementation, and research. I have coordinated logistics for conferences and exchange programs ranging from 8 to 100 people in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. Logistics included booking flights and hotels, arranging travel insurance, advising on visa applications and entry restrictions, setting up financial documentation, and creating DS 2019 forms. I developed Monitoring and Evaluation Plans for grant proposals, including one that brought a $250,000 grant to the team and expanded its scope of work. Additionally, I authored quarterly reports for State Department grants and managed a 4,000+ contact database using Airtable. I drafted and implemented onboarding schedules for new team members and researched and secured high-level speakers for virtual and in-person events. I also organized large-scale conference logistics, including designing and coordinating over $3000 of branded products, researching and securing sound technicians, liaising on group hotel contracts, and processing vendor invoices.
