After a Bachelor’s degree in Management, Finance and Accounting from the the Maharishi Vedic University, as well as an MBA at and Kensington American University, I pursued further professional qualifications in the field of finance and accounting at the Institute of Public Accountants in Australia and the Institute of Financial Accountants in the UK. I am a certified management accountant (CMA) and a certified global business analyst (CGBA). With more than 20 years of experience in working for local and international organisations, mostly in administration and financial management, human resources, reporting and budget analysis, I am now a finance manager at the SNV, a Netherlands based development organisation.
