Bio

I am a person who like to takes a vision and make it reality through sound strategy development. I intuitively sees the threads of opportunity that wind through an organization, brings them together into a coherent whole, help others extend their thinking, and drives material business advantage. I am an inspirational leader who tells stories that inspire action while at the same time is grounded in financial information that levers the business. Respected as a credible voice in decision making and finding strategic financing partners. Currently, as Director at Canadian Foundation for Development and Empowerment, a non-profit organisation which help youth with educational materials and low-income families. I oversees the day to day operations of the organization.
Being once a single mom understands only too well the struggles of being in a low-income bracket. I hope to now spearhead major strategic shifts for transforming education from a functional focus to being available to all.
