About Me
I’ve spent over a decade with the incredible privilege of creating unforgettable experiences for patrons across Africa – from international festivals and youth games to corporate summits, creative productions, and advocacy platforms.
My journey has taken me from billboards as a child model to global stages as a speaker and event leader. Along the way, I’ve been a part of teams which collaborated with governments, global brands, creatives, and changemakers to produce events that are not only memorable – but meaningful and safe.
