What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in business development and team management while contributing to meaningful projects.

As a co-founder of Graze Market and Graze Eatery, I am passionate about reducing food waste and providing nutritious food to those in need. My experience in working with farmers and food importers has equipped me with the skills to develop innovative solutions that benefit both the community and the environment.

In my previous role as a team leader and property sales agent, I managed a team of around 10 agents, focusing on strategy planning and business development. My strong communication skills and resourcefulness have allowed me to monitor daily operations effectively and seek opportunities for growth by pitching to potential investors.
