About Me
As an energetic and motivated individual, I am excited to build upon my past experiences towards new endeavours that will challenge both my skills and my way of thinking. I have recently completed the CEMS Master in International Management.

Through this continuous experience abroad, I am eager to learn more about myself as an individual and the capabilities I possess when moving forward in my career and in life. I am an analytical thinker, a quick learner and one who constantly seeks to gain a spectrum of knowledge across various fields of study, cultures, industries and encompassing strategies.

I strongly believe institutions, whether private or public, can be a channel and source of positive sustainable impact on all levels and look to align with individuals and organizations who share such values.
