About Me

I am an economist passionate about social sciences. I aspire to influence a more equitable and inclusive economy, expand human capabilities and explore the emergent issues that will shape our future​. 

What I do

I help meaningful initiatives gain scale and reach financial sustainability, increasing their reach and impact.

  • Research: Discover other initiatives to learn from their experiences and amplify the range of references.
  • Reexamine & Reframe: Unbundle a complex problem into discrete problems and reconsider the value of under-utilized internal assets and accessible resources in the ecosystem.
  • Workshop production, design and facilitation: Design processes which enable the engagement of multiple stakeholders and create ideal conditions for collaboration and mutual learning.
    I am experienced in in-person and online co-creation  and training processes.
  • Project management: Project milestones, timelines, budgets and coordinating work plans among internal and external stakeholders.
  • Network orchestration: Set-up, moderate and nurture knowledge exchange networks.
  • Online training sessions for teams: Interactive and hands-on training sessions for teams to adopt new tools and platforms that can enhance their productivity and collaboration (e.g. Zoom, Miro, Asana, GSuite….).
