With a rich background in cross-sector collaboration and qualitative research, I am dedicated to advancing social innovation and sustainable development. My academic training in historiography and postcolonial studies provides a solid foundation for understanding complex socio-economic dynamics. My professional journey has been driven by a passion for launching and managing impactful, social-purpose projects, where I combine ecosystem building, user research, and design methodologies to drive meaningful change. My expertise lies in steering social innovation projects and facilitating multi-stakeholder engagement. I have extensive experience in designing and managing projects that bridge gaps between various sectors, from social finance to community-building initiatives. My role involves not only overseeing project development but also engaging in advocacy and capacity-building programs that empower communities and organizations. Through strategic program design and impact measurement, I work to ensure that initiatives are both effective and sustainable. In addition to my practical experience, I have been actively involved in thought leadership, presenting at international conferences and facilitating workshops on topics such as social innovation, youth empowerment, and the future of work. My background in social finance, combined with my skills in qualitative research and program management, allows me to provide deep insights and actionable strategies for creating positive social impact.
