As an advocate for social responsibility, I strongly believe that collaboration is the key to success in leaving a positive impact. I'm a practitioner and a believer in balancing between creating shared value and effective altruism. I am often recognized as a natural cultural anthropologist because of my curiosity and fascination of people from all walks of life. I travel to eat and meet people to discover how they live and why they live the way they do. My career experience is vast – from strategically planning and executing economically-focused programs for girls and women globally, to supporting high ranking political officials and managing the public relations and logistics for a number of international economic trade-missions and high-profile events. I have lived in Vancouver, Toronto, Arusha, Harare, Beirut, and Dubai enhancing my aptitude in communications, sustainability, corporate philanthropy, strategic planning. I have organized media events in Canada, United States, France, China, Lebanon, Zimbabwe, and the United Arab Emirates.My conviction and passion in life comes from my love for travelling, food, and the exploration of distant and divergent cultures around the world. One of my greatest personal achievements was summiting the world's tallest freestanding mountain, Kilimanjaro in 2008 which put my mental endurance and commitment to the test. My profound aspiration to reach all corners of the world fuels my determination to thrive in my professional career.Specialities: Sustainability, corporate philanthropy, corporate responsibility, cause-related marketing, communications, public affairs, program management, strategy development, social media strategies, stakeholder outreach and management, government relations, logistical planning, event & conference planning, economic trade missions, and fundraising.
