Currently working as a consultant.
I've had to wear many hats in my previous roles. Thus, I thrive in zero-to-one stages where being a generalist is advantageous.
Why I do what I do
"Paying forward the support I've received and learning at every step."
What drives me inside
I love learning, connecting, and creating things that make a difference. Curiosity and growth are my daily fuel.
What I want for others
