At One Oat Foundation, I lead the innovation team with a clear focus on equipping young people with transformative tools that foster both personal and professional growth. My role involves not only guiding the team in creating high-impact, youth-centered solutions but also designing and implementing streamlined processes that ensure scalability and long-term sustainability. This includes spearheading projects that blend technology and human-centered approaches to maximize accessibility and relevance for diverse youth populations.

With certifications in business analysis, artificial intelligence, and sustainability, I bring a multi-disciplinary perspective to addressing emerging challenges. I apply data-driven methodologies to identify trends, optimize resources, and develop solutions that adapt to the rapidly evolving needs of today’s youth. By leveraging AI and sustainable practices, I focus on creating proactive, forward-thinking strategies that balance immediate impact with long-term benefits, particularly in the areas of mental health, skill development, and community engagement.

As a collaborative mentor and dedicated team player, I cultivate an environment of open communication and continuous learning. I encourage my team to share insights, challenge assumptions, and develop a shared understanding of our goals. This culture of inclusivity and shared growth enables us to guide young talent in making thoughtful, informed decisions. Through personalized mentorship, I help individuals on my team build confidence in their abilities and refine their skills, supporting them in their journey to becoming effective changemakers.

My work with initiatives like Oats.live and Oat AI aligns closely with my commitment to social impact and inclusivity. Oats.live provides a safe, interactive platform where young people from diverse backgrounds can access resources, support, and guidance in real time, helping them build essential life skills and connect with like-minded peers. Oat AI, our advanced conversational AI tool, offers on-demand support in areas like mental health, life skills, and personal development, ensuring that young users have a constant companion to help them navigate challenges and build resilience.

I am deeply passionate about inspiring and equipping the next generation to drive positive change. My goal is to build inclusive, innovative solutions that empower young individuals to lead fulfilling lives, make impactful contributions, and shape a brighter future. Through a combination of technology, strategic vision, and genuine care for youth development, I strive to foster resilience, adaptability, and leadership in every young person we reach.
