Additional information

I enjoy turning ambitious ideas into something real. At Chemonics / USAID AGRO, I managed a $15M+ portfolio across six programmes, engaged 500+ producers, reviewed 300+ grant applications, and served as Merit Review Committee Chair. My work also included 200+ B2B meetings, ten trade missions, and four exhibitions.

As a certified Lean Green Belt, I supported improvements across 20+ enterprises. Supervisor BOOT Camp, Export Alliance Mastery, and economic training for war-affected Ukrainian businesses have shaped my professional journey. I am now preparing for PMP certification.

I have organised 30+ high-level events, moderated discussions, and shared my experience as a speaker. I also explore ideas through AI image and video creation, using professional tools including Kling AI, Midjourney, Nana Banana, CapCut, and Verba, etc.

Beyond work, I am an open-water swimmer and marathon runner—always curious about what lies beyond the next finish line.
