What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower youth and drive community initiatives, fostering collaboration and growth.

I am a highly motivated young professional dedicated to supporting the development of children and youth. My journey began as a Technology-Enabled Girl Ambassador with Girl Effect, where I amplified young voices through research that informed youth-focused programs. This experience honed my skills in community engagement, advocacy, and communication, allowing me to effectively connect with diverse groups and contribute to meaningful initiatives.

As a business owner, I developed strong customer service skills, focusing on client interactions and building lasting relationships. I thrive under pressure and am proactive in my approach to problem-solving. My commitment to delivering high-quality support aligns with my goal of achieving organizational objectives while fostering excellent communication and collaboration with colleagues, clients, and community members.
