Resource mobilization

I understand the power of storytelling in inspiring action and connecting with target audiences. My approach involves crafting true compelling narratives that align with an organization’s mission, engaging potential partners whose values resonate with its goals. I collaborate strategically with these stakeholders, driven by a shared desire to help the organization achieve lasting impact.

Environmental conservation

I strongly believe in the sustainable use of our natural resources such as rivers, land, and forests. Driven by this belief, I have not only worked in this field but also volunteered to teach and train communities on environmental conservation.

Sales and sales management

I believe great sales begin with purpose. I lead by inspiring a shared sense of purpose. Anchored in Simon Sinek’s philosophy, I work with my team to understand not just what we do, but why it matters—fostering accountability, engagement, and lasting performance. When we know the Why, the How is easy.
