About me
My enthusiasm and passion for international affairs, communications and, exposure to creative and multicultural environments, have been the major drivers of my career decisions thus far.
It's the same enthusiasm that now drives me to look beyond academia, and towards a creative business environment where I can utilize, enhance and apply my working knowledge of: project management, public relations, network building, critical and creative thinking.
My professional experience at the LSE has equipped me with intellectual curiosity and skills that position me strategically for work in fast paced and creative environment. Through my multi-faceted roles, I have developed the ability to manage and deliver projects under tight deadlines, work independently and as part of team, and build extensive collaborative networks. I'm communicative, motivated and hardworking, with the capacity to adapt to shifting circumstances with equanimity.
