About

I'm a dynamic and solution-oriented professional with a proven track record in STEM education, UX design, and strategy and business development. I'm also a globally recognized systems leader with a strong passion for problem solving and ideating innovative solutions to critical problems in product development, technology, and business processes. Outside work, I really enjoy immersing myself in nature and outdoor activities. I've hiked various peaks, such as Table Mountain and Signal hill in Cape Town and even around the Swiss alps, hitting the Bretaye summit in Switzerland.
