Share five things you’re good at.

I’ve always been fascinated by the interplay of systems and the hidden forces that drive them. As an Industrial Engineer, I’ve honed my skills in analyzing complex processes and optimizing outcomes. This analytical mindset has extended beyond the professional realm, allowing me to delve into the mystical and esoteric.

I’m a proud Grand Runemaster of the Knights of Runes, skilled in the ancient wisdom of the Armanen Futhorkh. I’ve applied this knowledge to various aspects of my life, from meditation and divination to practical magic. My contributions to the Knights of Runes’ annual journal, the Futhorkh, reflect my passion for sharing this knowledge with others.

My journey with Toastmasters International has further refined my communication and leadership skills. I’ve had the privilege of inspiring audiences both locally and internationally, sharing insights from both my professional and spiritual experiences.

As a leader, I’ve guided numerous individuals towards personal and professional growth. I’ve mentored and coached, empowering others to live authentically and achieve their full potential. Whether it’s through one-on-one sessions, group workshops, or simply offering words of encouragement, I’ve cultivated a toolbox of effective strategies to inspire and motivate.

Ultimately, my greatest strength lies in my ability to see the bigger picture while simultaneously paying attention to the details. I’m a skilled synthesizer, capable of bridging seemingly disparate ideas and uncovering new perspectives. This systems thinking approach has allowed me to help countless individuals reach their full potential.

Industrial engineering, Public speaking, Leadership, Systems thinking and Rune mastery is my thing!

While I’ve achieved various accomplishments, I believe that true fulfillment comes from living authentically and embodying one’s values. External achievements are fleeting, but the qualities of the soul are timeless.
