What do you like most about your job?
I love that I can support national governments in meeting their emergency telecoms “readiness” goals. These efforts ultimately contribute to enhanced resilience and recovery post-disaster.
An unusual or surprising fact about yourself?
I have a keen academic interest in ancient Egyptian studies, particularly architecture and myths!
The best advice you have ever received?
The best advice I received was that patience and perseverance are critical for a career in international diplomacy.
The worst?
The worst advice was not to aspire for a career in programmatic work. Originally coming from a communications background, with passion and self-learning, the transition is indeed very much possible!
