About
I am passionate about problem-solving, leadership, and creating positive change. I have a keen interest in governance structures and their impact on organizations and communities. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce in Economics, with a minor in Philosophy. I am committed to applying knowledge to solving real-world problems - take a look at my side projects :-). I'm now seeking further opportunities to leverage my experience and drive meaningful change.

I like problem solving
During my time in university, I have competed in 6+ case competitions. Students from various institutions from across the world would compete trying to solve different business challenges. It was interesting to see the variety of solutions teams came up with when faced with real-world business problems. These competitions showed me how many different ways there are to approach complex issues in business.
