My love for road trips helped me combine my two passions - field work and fan that came by sight-seeing and the thrill encounter different cultures and people from other social backgrounds. 

This inspired me to engage my love for writing, photography and videography to curate compelling stories that appeal to donors who overwhelmingly responded by making generous donations that helped meet the needs of various communities we engaged with. 

Playing team sport like soccer helps me to not only exercise and maintain fitness but learn to play in a team whose main focus is to work together for a common goal of winning together.
