Through her dedicated management of the project’s accounting, human resources, procurement, and logistics teams, USAID LinkSME is able to operate smoothly and implement technical activities effectively. She ensures the project is compliant with regulations, that the project’s funds are being spent appropriately, and that her team operates with excellence and integrity. Loc is a leader in establishing and sharing best practices in project management. Her solution-oriented approach to problem solving makes her the go-to person in the USAID LinkSME office.
