I work at the intersection of capital and strategy, advising governments, investors, management, entrepreneurs, and development institutions on data-informed policies that catalyze sustainable economic growth in developing regions. I have a strong background in the financial services sector, spanning banking, investment, fintech, and related sectors. My work on fintech with the World Bank is a prime example. I have also lived and studied abroad, including in China, where I conducted extensive research and analysis on the impact of foreign investment in the country.

From regional trade alliances to international diplomacy, I promote policies that drive equitable trade, foster economic cooperation, and strengthen the global development agenda.  Over the past decade, I have traveled to various continents and countries, including China, to conduct research. My training material encompasses a substantial amount of information and analysis on Chinese economic growth within the context of international trade. The research encompassed an analysis using economic reports, academic articles, and press reports with a briefing on the main drivers and impacts of Chinese growth spanning 2010 to 2015. A key aspect of that research focuses on the role of foreign direct investment in the development of China's manufacturing sector and export capabilities.

I guide organizations in aligning capital with purpose, mobilizing investment toward solutions that generate measurable social impact and long-term economic value. I have a strong background in the financial services sector, spanning banking, investment, fintech, and related sectors. My work on fintech with the World Bank is a prime example. During my graduate studies, I participated in a study with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) on the fashion industry in relation to impact investing. I used appropriate visualization techniques to demonstrate the right strategies to implement environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria and address sustainability issues in companies. The focus was on creating an ESG profile of the supply chain and potential investments. 

Over the years, I have professionally competed in various entrepreneurial pitch competitions. In 2022, I reached the Second Round in a field of 100 Participants for the GW New Venture Competition (NVC), which provides every GW student, faculty, staff, and alumni with a real-world educational experience in developing, testing, and launching their own startups, businesses, and social ventures.  My team created a tablet that analyzes third-world countries worldwide. As well, while living in Jackson, Mississippi, my team at Jackson State University earned second place in the 2015 Social Business Challenge, presenting an entrepreneurial venture called “Foober” that addressed the need for marginalized communities to access fresh groceries.
