What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in AI and business strategy while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a detail-driven MBA graduate with a strong focus on entrepreneurship and a passion for generative AI projects. My hands-on experience in small business consulting and municipal fieldwork has equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate complex challenges and deliver actionable insights. I thrive in environments that require innovative problem-solving and effective communication.

Throughout my career, I have successfully coordinated large-scale events, strengthened brand visibility, and designed promotional strategies that resonate with target audiences. As an independent consultant, I have led AI and business innovation projects, advising clients on branding and operational strategies. My commitment to community engagement is evident through my volunteer work and mentorship roles, where I strive to uplift and empower others.
