About Me

I’m a project management consultant specializing in operations, development planning, sustainability, and community-driven solutions. I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Security and Conflict Resolution with an emphasis on justice in the global system along with a Masters Certificate in Project Management. My approach to project management blends structure with empathy and is informed by my deep motivation to support social impact organizations.

Having lived and studied internationally long term in both Accra, Ghana and Rome, Italy, I bring a deep appreciation for cultural nuance, collaboration across contexts, and locally informed solutions. I take a grounded, respectful approach to relationship-building and thrive in environments that require coordination across diverse teams and priorities.

I am eager to bring my experience in people operations, cross-cultural communication, workflow coordination, and organizational support to a team dedicated to equity, belonging, and transformative change.
