HELLO,
Bienvenue
Living in rural areas throughout my childhood allowed me to witness the struggle of many young people and their families to have access to basic resources that I was too often taking for granted. It made me realize at a very young age the opportunity and the privilege I have to be able to do go to school and fight for my dreams, and has definitely shaped my career choices.
What sets me apart is my professionalism, my ambition, and passion for economic development.

FAVORITE QUOTE
"It is important to remember that the so-called “New Africa” is made up of 54 countries in five regions. Africa is not a single monolithic whole. The only safe generalization is that Africa is planning, managing and starting to finance its own destiny."
Donald Kaberuka, former AfDB President
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
Winston Churchill
