Share a little about your professional background.

I consider myself a change management leader with over 16 years of experience conceptualizing and executing programs and projects, managing complex milestones while adapting to changes in the philanthropy space. For 11 years, I served in the humanitarian sector working to empower and strengthen the realisation of the rights of refugees and migrants. Previously I have championed community agency in health, facilitating capacity exchange and collaborations between communities and health systems. I am creative, doubling up as a strategist in communications in various leadership roles I have occupied over the years.

How do you spend your free time?

Outdoor activities and working on small projects take up most of my free time. Because I am curious about how things work mechanically, I enjoy fixing and diagnosing issues on older models of cars.
