Summary
As a development professional, my strengths are my leadership, negotiation, and sustainability skills, which enable me to engage many actors and implement projects that are appropriate to the country's needs.
I have built partnerships with government agencies in a wide variety of countries from Asia to Africa and have managed a range of projects, including trade promotion, education, and infrastructure development, tailored to the needs of the country.
I am currently studying a master's course in governance, where I am learning how to shape sustainable societies, using the principles of policy decision-making and theories of political economy in different countries.
