I am passionate about helping public services work better for the people they serve. Through business analysis, architecture, service design and delivery, I help make government systems more efficient, accessible and responsive. My goal is to support digital transformation that builds trust and leaves no citizen behind.

I believe every young person deserves a real pathway into meaningful work. Through mentoring, content and community initiatives like Upsurge, I help young people build digital skills, confidence and a growth mindset. I’m committed to opening doors and preparing the next generation for the future of work.

I am driven by the potential of technology to transform how food is grown and shared. Drawing on my work in AgriTech and ICT4D, I support smallholder farmers, researchers and development partners to adopt data, AI and digital tools. My aim is to help build resilient, inclusive food systems that improve livelihoods across Africa and beyond.
