Kimsean is a lawyer.  She is an active member of the Cambodia Bar Association, a Cambodian lawyer with experience in the execution and implementation of international development initiatives, and a legal lecturer for the Royal University of Law and Economics. She is also a certified arbitrator with the National Commercial Arbitration Center on commercial disputes and an arbitrator of the Arbitration Council, where I have successfully demonstrated my mediation and conflict resolution skills.

Kimsean was a consultant for the East-West Management Institute’s Labor Rights in Cambodia from late 2021 to late 2023 and the DCOP/Grants Manager for the East-West Management Institute’s Cambodia Civil Society Strengthening Project from 2016 to 2021. Local NGOs have supported these initiatives to find and expand opportunities for citizens to participate in democratic processes. These grants enabled CSOs to work flexibly from 2004 to November 2014, overseeing grants to legal aid organizations and human rights groups.
