One of my first memories in school, is going to a parent teacher meeting in Kindergarten and having my teacher tell my parents, "Desiree is definitely one of the most talkative, no matter where I move him in the class he communicates with everyone!". Throughout my life I have developed this art of being able to communicate with anyone at any given time. From joining the debate team in college, to studying internal and external communication, to working in different careers that allow me to utilize this skill in different ways, I have learned that effective communication is at the core of any successful of any successful leader and business.Identifying myself as a second generation expat in Saudi Arabia has largely shaped my unique perspectives and aspirations. I understand how it feels to be financially/ food insecure or without opportunity and go above and beyond when an opportunity arises. I take great pride in persistence, diligence, and empathy. This is why I love finance and its functions as societal tools that allow individual/ Corporations to overcome financial hurdles and accelerate growth. Please feel free to contact me via LinkedIn. I am always looking forward to an insightful conversation over coffee or even better, a round of desert Safari ! or perhaps both.
