What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design and scale impact-driven programs, lead cross-functional teams, and build sustainable systems with strong operational rigor and local ownership.

I am a systems thinker and startup builder with 4+ years of experience launching ventures, scaling grassroots organizations, and designing systems for impact. I combine entrepreneurial energy with people-first leadership to drive measurable outcomes across education, community development, and esports.

At Make A Difference, I led national expansion playbooks, designed bootcamp operations, and restructured finance into decentralized, chapter-led models—streamlining tech stacks and improving workflow efficiency. As founder of Survive eSports, I scaled a community-first ecosystem to 10,000+ users and executed 450+ tournaments across campuses.

I excel at program architecture, scalable system design, and mobilizing teams and resources to achieve sustainable impact; I prioritize operational rigor, audit-readiness, and repeatable processes that enable growth and local ownership.
