About me
In a society filled with inequality and barriers, I have always been inspired to break down those walls and build a world where everyone has an equal chance at a fulfilling life. This drive to make a difference propelled me into the field of civil society, where I have actively participated in numerous impactful movements. From collaborating with the elderly and empowering children to supporting individuals with disabilities and advocating for various disadvantaged groups, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of working towards a shared vision of inclusivity and equal opportunities. As a result of my position in the field of civil society for the last ten years, it has become a part of my life to find solutions to world problems and solutions. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals, I tried to leave lasting marks and to increase the social impact positively. Many of the projects I have written, the documents and activities I have produced have covered human rights and equality issues. I live in London and evaluate opportunities to be part of social projects. If you have fresh ideas, let's come together and produce projects that will change the lives of others.
