I am a passionate advocate for mental health, multiculturalism and community well-being. Recently, I completed a Masters degree in International Relations with a specialization in Migration from the University of Kent. I have a interest in exploring the factors involved in human interactions, community growth and development. I have been involved in cross cultural communication and education for the last five years, having worked in both Europe and Asia. My experience spans a variety of human rights and community development initiatives, such as mental health clinics, cultural exchange centres and human rights organizations. 

Over the last year I have worked with the Brussels International Center (BIC) to develop a series of workshops that would promote professional bonds to be built between our participants. Our workshops are made up of local and migrant individuals who share the same professional profile. Each week the group meets, and two of the participants give presentations on their specialties, their experiences as business owners, or their unique techniques. 

My love for technology and innovation has brought me into contact with creators and innovators from a variety of sectors. Together we conceptualized how modern technological advancements can help address some of the challenges facing modern communities. One challenge that we have faced in organizing our workshops, and that others who are active in this sector have identified, is the challenge of communicating essential information to the newcomers we hope to help.
