Business lead at Insurge AI

About

Driven by curiosity, I love jumping into the trenches and building a non-linear career. Even when the trajectory feels unconventional, I know that real-world projects are what sharpen my judgment and execution. Over the past two years, I’ve worn almost every hat imaginable, working as a co-founder, a freelance product photographer, graphic designer, and growth lead. Now, I’m taking those execution skills and diving deep into the B2B landscape with Insurge AI. My foundation is in accounting and finance as an upcoming ACCA affiliate, but I’ve always been motivated to look far beyond the numbers. Outside of business, I use photography and digital documentary to tell stories and share my views on what matters most.
