What I'm looking for

I look forward to collaborating with like-minded professionals and organisations that share my commitment to fostering diplomacy, peace-building, and sustainable global solutions.

Through my academic background in Economics as well as the French Language, and hands-on field experiences at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration especially, I have developed a keen interest in understanding the economic trends, market dynamics and financial systems that underpin international relations amongst countries.

I am eager to contribute my quota to the diplomatic sector by leveraging my knowledge in economics and foreign languages to bridge the political and cultural divides between nations. I also look forward to collaborating with like-minded professionals and organisations that share my commitment to fostering diplomacy, peace-building, and sustainable global solutions.
