I am a Vancouver-based recent grad­u­ate of the Sauder School of Busi­ness, Uni­ver­sity of British Colum­bia. I am con­stantly on the hunt for new inno­v­a­tive plat­forms as an inter­sec­tion point for busi­ness mod­els and mar­kets at the base of the pyra­mid to con­tribute to progress (social or eco­nomic) in devel­op­ing coun­tries. For the past four years, I have worked pri­mar­ily in the finance and busi­ness devel­op­ment posi­tions both in Canada and Africa and have devel­oped dif­fer­ent frame­works to help expand the social impact of organizations.

My cur­rent research inter­ests include:

1) Base of Pyra­mid Per­spec­tive: Under­stand­ing the unique dimen­sions of this sec­tion to fully eval­u­ate the impact of mar­ket ventures

2) Social Entre­pre­neur­ship: Inves­ti­gat­ing a col­lab­o­ra­tive approach in inno­va­tion, cre­ation and imple­men­ta­tion of impact invest­ing and patient cap­i­tal strategies.

Close sec­ond inter­ests include eco­nomic polit­i­cal pol­icy, edu­ca­tion, women empow­er­ment and dogs. I am an impa­tient opti­mist and believe that through com­pas­sion, inno­va­tion and edu­ca­tion, we can be the change in the world.
