What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that foster sustainable development and allow me to leverage my financial expertise in impactful ways.

I am a finance and business leader with over a decade of cross-regional experience in banking operations, entrepreneurship, and academic instruction. Currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration with a focus on Entrepreneurship and Business Management, I am a CEFI-certified Trainer of Trainers in Financial Inclusion. My passion lies in leveraging financial expertise and strategic consulting to foster sustainable development and economic empowerment in emerging markets.

Throughout my career, I have successfully redesigned curricula, delivered impactful workshops, and mentored hundreds of students and entrepreneurs. My work has focused on bridging the gap between academia and real-world applications, particularly in financial literacy and entrepreneurship. I have a proven track record of developing inclusive training programs that empower underserved communities and drive economic growth.

As an Adjunct Lecturer and Trainer, I have facilitated numerous workshops and courses, emphasizing practical insights and learner-centered methodologies. My experience as an Operations & Risk Manager has equipped me with the skills to lead compliance functions and improve operational efficiencies, ultimately contributing to the strategic goals of the organizations I work with.
