About
I work with diverse stakeholder groups as a humanitarian and social activist at the UN and related avenues. I advocate for resilient intergenerational participation, for policies that enable individuals to actively engage in creating the change they yearn for. I am dedicated to fostering a world where everyone has access to justice, peace, and effective governance. Through collaborative initiatives and grassroots stakeholder engagement, I strive to amplify the need for strong institutions in decision-making processes, ensuring rights are upheld and the stakeholders perspectives are valued. I create a healthy system of inclusion and empowerment by championing transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in systems.
