Sahra Abdirahman Abdillahi

I am an Economics honors graduate and operations manager with two years of experience leading high-volume cafeteria services in Somaliland. I managed a 15-person team and held full accountability for daily financial closing, taxation, and budgeting to ensure total operational accuracy. By combining hands-on leadership with specialized finance training from Y-PEER, I execute precise data analysis and resource allocation to maintain lean operations. I am now looking to leverage my financial background and administrative expertise to drive efficiency and deliver measurable value within a banking, corporate finance, or NGO environment.
