Purpose | Responsibility | Contribution My ultimate passion is in understanding how different size organisations operate and how they can improve through strategic growth plans. I want to use my interest in identifying and developing business opportunities for organisations; to able them to derive growing trends in the market and utilize the knowledge to help them expand. Currently, I am managing the Business Development operations at Fortuna Engineering LLC, a growing engineering company. One of my most proud accomplishments was serving as a board director for AIESEC Australia, which offers young people the opportunity to participate in a global learning environment.

Speaking from personal experience, it's when I listened, that I allowed myself to be inspired and take positive action. TED and TEDx is a unique platform to share ideas and it is a privilege to organise TEDxHaymarket. - My 1st talk watched (Simon Sinek and the Golden Circles 2011) - My 1st event attended (TEDxMacquarie University 2013) - My 1st TEDx event curated (TEDxHaymarket 2017) Being part of the TED community is an honour and privilege. TED is such a great platform allowing for so much positivity to take place. I hope to continue to contribute to TED's mission by organising great events in the future.
