Summary

With 12 years of international experience spanning the United States, South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, and Nigeria, and Israel, I have excelled in providing technical assistance, capacity building, and curriculum development, creating impactful entrepreneurship and leadership training programs, with a specialty in working with economically disenfranchised groups. A recognized leader, I've been invited to consult on entrepreneurship initiatives at the State House in Namibia and established the first entrepreneurship incubator at the University of Namibia as a Fulbright Specialist. My business acumen extends to identifying markets, submitting proposals, and fostering partnerships, leading to the expansion of my company, Pursue Your Purpose LLC, into four international markets. As the Founder and former CEO, I managed a multicultural team, displayed cultural sensitivity, and represented the company on major international media platforms. I hold advanced degrees, certifications in global diplomacy, and have received prestigious awards, contributing significantly to the fields of education, economic development, and international relations. My publications include articles on Forbes.com and HuffingtonPost.com, along with authored books on entrepreneurship and leadership.
