Dr. Shilu Mathew

Experienced in coordinating project activities, organizing workflows and documentation, synthesizing data into reports and presentations, collaborating across teams, and supporting students and colleagues through project milestones. Interested in applying these strengths in project/programme coordination and operations roles, with scope to develop further in procurement and grant/budget administration.
