  on numerous audit teams, and was directly responsible for overseeing and controlling
  numerous cost accounts. My education includes a bachelor's degree in finance, with
  a concentration in investment and real estate analysis, and I am skilled in, accounting,
  budgeting, portfolio management, compliance, auditing, and other unrelated community
  based and donor cultivation skills.\n\n## Related Experience\n\nI've managed multimillion
  dollar public portfolios, directly overseen the disbursement of tens of millions
  of dollars, served on and led countless committees responsible for disbursing millions
  in grants and appropriations. I have experience in all facet of grants management,
  including operations, governance, budgeting, and investment oversight. I've served
  in leadership roles responsible for creating, implementing, and overseeing spending

  Personal Statement\n\nI am certain that my background allows me to instantly contribute
  to the team as I bring a wealth of knowledge concerning best practices, responsibilities,
  and policies common with grant making organizations. I am confident that I can assist
  in some capacity and help ensure that this governing body is fiscally responsible,
  fair, transparent, and enabled to operate in perpetuity, thereby serving generations
  of Kujirains. Forever!\n        "
