Leadership, Expertise,  and Service

My name is Samantha Saldaña. I have a strong background in grants and contracts management, serving as a Senior Grants & Contracts Manager at the Metis Foundation. Since 2016, I have assisted in the grant negotiation phase. Once the agreement is received, I oversee projects throughout their period of performance, ensuring due diligence in monitoring budgets, reporting dates, and renewal dates for Metis Foundation awards and agreements. In addition, I collaborate closely with our finance team and project managers to ensure that grants and contracts meet their goals, deadlines, and financial requirements.
