EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING TO GIVE
For a long time, I believed success meant meeting others’ expectations: studying, earning degrees, landing a good job, and constantly improving in what I did. Over time, I realized true fulfillment for me lay elsewhere…
I see you
Driven by curiosity, I set out on a journey that evolved alongside my career—from strategic consultant to partnership manager across various sectors. My passion for immersion and self-reliance grew, not as a tourist, but as a person among people. I traveled to remote destinations, seeking raw, unfiltered experiences that can only be found when truly living within local communities. With my camera as a constant companion, I learned patience, observation, and how to capture the essence of people’s lives.
Encounters with local leaders deeply moved me, such as a remarkable Nepali woman who overcame significant cultural challenges to help oppressed women in her community. Or my time with the Maasai, researching how to preserve traditions amidst rapid globalization. In their resilience, dreams, and actions, I witnessed what true leadership means. It became a deep reflection on my own journey, connecting with diverse cultures, and discovering my own talents.
Everybody is a leader!
These experiences not only provided valuable insights but also gave me direction. I realized I wanted to use my talents to empower people in vulnerable positions—not by speaking for them, but by creating spaces where they can develop, take responsibility, and amplify their impact.
This led to the creation of Impact Collective—a movement supporting local changemakers with leadership programs, guidance, and resources to strengthen their communities from within.
Later, in the slums of Uganda, I helped a nonprofit management team improve collaboration. Everywhere I looked, I saw untapped leadership qualities in young people and small entrepreneurs—individuals with vision and strength, yet lacking the tools to bring their ideas to life. This realization drove me to develop personal leadership programs to strengthen their abilities and expand their impact.
What began as a way to support local changemakers has now evolved into a broader mission: to see, connect, and empower people worldwide. I believe everyone has something to give, and leadership starts everywhere—even where you least expect it.
Background and expertise
I studied Business Communication followed by Business Administration, then began my career as a strategic consultant. Over the years, I worked as a partnership manager across various sectors, focusing increasingly on collaboration, personal development, and leadership. What I learned in the boardrooms of Europe and the streets of Kampala forms the foundation of my work: building trust, ownership, and human potential in any context.
