Skills

While working as the USAID Webmaster, I had a thorough oversight to all bilingual details. This role required me to coordinate with all USAID programs including office directors and technical specialists. As a result, USAID/Egypt website content successfully competed and managed to be the top performing portal within the Middle East for more than 3 years in a row. I also volunteered my skills with other ME Bureau colleagues and provided bilingual support to advance staff/beneficiaries skills. My experience with USAID in particular has provided me with in-depth knowledge of various sectors including government, private sector, civil society, and communities where development endeavors network. I am also familiar with strategies, rules and regulations specific to development partners.
