What I can offer you
As someone who loves learning, I love giving and receiving mentorship, coaching, and any form of advisory. I don't do any of these for any monetary goal but purely because I believe in creating communities through a give-first mindset. I also learn a lot myself with mentorship, whether I receive or give. If you are interested in any of these or just want to talk, don't hesitate to get in touch.
