About me
I am a self-starter and dynamic professional committed to driving innovation and fostering sustainable growth. With a proven track record as an entrepreneur and innovation manager, I bring a unique blend of creativity, business acumen, and leadership to the table. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Management from Southern New Hampshire University, and currently in my final semester for my MSc in Economics at Sapienza University of Rome. I am proactive and dynamic member of any organization I work for or provide my expertise. I have a background in research and data analysis which transitioned me into serving as an Employer Relations Coordinator in the office of Livelihood and Advocacy at an international non-profit organization. I am passionate about transforming the lives of disempowered people through education and opportunity/meaningful employment. This passion has allowed me co-found an organization providing livelihood and e-learning opportunities to refugees, stateless, and marginalised communities. Our organization advocates for sustainable development goals number 4, 8 and 9. I also serve as a consultant for a organization that convenes multi-sector actors and government to drive interventions for the economic inclusion of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees.
