Summary
SUMMARY
I am a passionate and adaptable professional with a diploma in Diplomacy and International Relations, focused on leveraging technology, particularly AI, to tackle global challenges like poverty, hunger, and conflict resolution. Currently, I am expanding my expertise through an online Global Diplomacy course from the University of London and a Virtual Assistant program, enhancing my skills in organizational management and digital administration.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I love writing and maintain a blog where I share insights and research on various topics.
With strong leadership abilities and hands-on experience in AI applications, I develop innovative strategies that support sustainable development goals and create societal impact. I aim to apply my knowledge of diplomacy and technology to international initiatives, particularly those aligned with the United Nations, contributing to peacebuilding and meaningful progress in global development."
