I am an internally driven youth with an entrepreneurial mindset and “positive, can-do" attitude" who is ready to solve problems and capitalise on new changing situations. My intrinsic love for the idea of “connecting” people to opportunities and possibilites, thereby “empowering" them, leads to my deep interest in the fields of product management, IT strategy and consulting. I enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where I can encounter new experiences to challenge myself with.
