What I Stand For

Education as Transformation

Entrepreneurship for National Growth

I stand for entrepreneurship as the backbone of economic prosperity. During my time as Director General of SMEDAN, I worked to empower micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). 

Inclusive Development

I am committed to inclusive growth. My leadership style is rooted in kindness, open-mindedness, and fairness, ensuring that no student, entrepreneur, or colleague is left behind. I believe opportunities must be created for all to thrive.
