What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and innovation in a supportive environment.

I am a goal-driven professional with a strong background in business management, supply chain coordination, and graphic design. With five years of experience in social media marketing, branding, and business development, I have honed my skills in public speaking, sales, project management, and strategic communication. I am passionate about supporting others' growth and aim to leverage my feedback, collaboration, and organizational management skills to help young people develop effective learning strategies.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurial Leadership at the African Leadership University, I have engaged in various roles that have allowed me to advocate for youth rights, manage successful events, and establish lasting brand identities. My experience as a National Partnership and Sponsorship Coordinator for HultPrize and as a Junior Town Secretary has equipped me with the ability to engage stakeholders effectively and foster community involvement. I am excited about transitioning into venture capital, where I can further support innovative ideas and initiatives.
