What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that connect technology and people, ideally in an academic or facilitation role.

I am a seasoned business professional with over five years of diverse experience across various industries and functions. My journey has taken me through four countries, where I have successfully led projects that harness technology to improve systems and foster team success in both start-ups and social organizations. With a Master’s in Learning and Development, I am passionate about connecting technology, people, and innovative ideas.

In my recent role as Head of Growth at Nasiwak IT Solutions, I established robust marketing systems and executed integrated campaigns that significantly increased social media engagement. My experience as a consultant in veterinary tele-healthcare allowed me to set up over 20 partnerships, demonstrating my ability to build strong relationships across cultures. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can leverage my skills in program management, instructional design, and community development to drive impactful results.
