In my nearly ten (10) years of experience working in social impact, I’ve built new business strategies, developed operational frameworks, and produced content for a variety of organizations in the public and private sectors, including award-winning mission-driven firms like Abt Associates, Fraym.io and Ubongo Edutainment.
I spent six (6) years in DC where I utilized my international development background while working for Abt in business development and proposal management. Subsequently, I worked with Fraym and Ubongo, both under 1-year contracts, where I developed a fondness for entrepreneurship and further advanced my skills in technology, media and social impact entertainment.
Currently, my work is focused on cultivating new opportunities to collaborate with high-performing teams and mission-driven companies to help solve problems, surface new ideas and get a foothold in the future. I have served organizations in Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Timor-Leste, Jordan, and at home in the United States. I'm originally from Kinshasa, Congo, and was raised in Dallas Texas. I hold a certificate in Leading, Educating and Developing (LEAD) from the University of Virginia Cooper Center for Public Service, a master’s degree from the School for International Training (SIT) Graduate Institute, and a bachelor’s from Sam Houston State University.
I believe my life call is to change the world through one meaningful interaction at a time. But if I don’t, I hope to spark the mind of the person who will along the way. In that spirit, don’t hesitate to drop me a line if you’d like to connect.
Let’s work on something meaningful together. Get in touch!
