The community range taught me methods and efficient strategies, to engage, educate and empower the community members.

My work spans from skills growth coaching, hosting online events, author of eBooks, Udemy instructor, coordinator of enterprise exhibitions, to facilitate workshops and art-directions for shoestring eCommerce startups. Folks additionally know me as the "I adapt quickly to fast-paced working environments, take responsibility, and get things done", person.
