Bio
I spent four years as a consultant at Accenture, where I specialized in Innovation Strategy, helping clients navigate emerging technologies and implement forward-thinking solutions. Alongside my consulting experience, I also manage a small business in the entertainment industry, blending my creative and strategic interests. I’m passionate about mentoring high school students, particularly in business, where I aim to introduce them to the world of consulting and help them develop essential skills. In my free time, I love exploring innovative technologies and staying ahead of trends in the ever-evolving tech landscape.Project ideas
