Why BEC?
My passion is people, I love meeting new people, learning from them and feeling inspired by their experiences. I work collaboratively by sharing knowledge and experiences to create lasting change in our communities. My friends and colleagues would describe me as a fireball of passion, energy and integrity. My experiences have shaped me to help others, especially those in need of a voice. Everything I do is to ensure everyone has an equal access to opportunities and I pride myself in supporting others to thrive. I believe connections and collaboration are the key to a successful future.
