Sayman

Meet Dustin.

Matematik okuyan tenis tutkunu. Her doların öğrencilere ve hedeflenen programlara ulaşması için JAMUN'un mali ve hibe fonunu yönetiyor.

Dustin Simon, Treasurer of JAMUN

What Dustin does at JAMUN.

Every grant we award, every conference we run, every translator we pay — it all passes through a spreadsheet I'm somewhere inside. As treasurer, my job is to make sure JAMUN's money does exactly what we told donors it would, and that nothing gets in the way of a student walking through a conference door.

Outside of JAMUN I'm a mathematics student, and the two roles overlap more than you'd think — both are about making sure the numbers actually add up to what people expect them to.

A nonprofit's books should tell the same story its mission does. My job is keeping those two in sync.
