About me: I am a Laidlaw Scholar through the Women's Leadership Fund at the Laidlaw Foundation. A serial founder since the age of 18, I pivoted from managing my digital marketing agency to building two profitable, five figure ventures in the retail and consulting industry. With my company 720 Impact, I have supported over 15 international startups during their growth and funding stages, managing six-figure project budgets. Academically, I hold a Bachelors degree in International Business and have been recognized as a finalist for the Recent Graduate Award for outstanding achievements by the University of Westminster in London, UK. A first-generation graduate and female founder, I advocate for equity and diversity and empower other female entrepreneurs through pro bono consulting. In addition, I mentor Tanzanian startups at the Westerwelle Foundation, have initiated a fundraising project for 'Save the Children'', and have contributed to the research efforts in the field of social inclusion to the 'Freudenberg Foundation'. I am a nature enthusiast, a basketball and volleyball player, and always love a good book recommendation.
Three topics I can be approached about: Consulting, Entrepreneurship, First-generation graduates at LBS
