About

I turn strategic thinking
into narratives that move people.

I'm a strategic communications professional with several years at Yulu Impact Communications, where I led thought leadership, executive communications, and earned media strategy for organisations driving social and environmental change.

My work spans climate justice, sustainable finance, harm reduction, and corporate accountability. I'm most energised when I can shape a narrative from the inside, not just polish what's already there.

I'm bilingual (English and Chinese) and have lived and studied in Nigeria, Singapore, China, and Canada. I'm genuinely attuned to the cultural nuance that global communications requires, and bring that perspective — cross-cultural, systems-oriented — into every engagement.
