  motivations: I’m driven to become a DRep because I see decentralized governance as essential to Cardano's growth and resilience. With a background in SEO and recent studies in AI and Marketing, I bring a unique analytical mindset to decision-making. My experience in online strategy and my deep interest in blockchain technology motivate me to contribute meaningfully to Cardano’s evolution. Personally, I find it inspiring to envision a world where everyone, including the unbanked, can use Cardano as a payment or savings tool. I’m also passionate about seeing Cardano recognized in my own region as a trusted, valuable platform. As DRep, I aim to build trust, encourage participation, and support Cardano’s mission for a decentralized and inclusive future.
  objectives: As a Delegated Representative (DRep), my primary goal is to support a transparent, inclusive, and sustainable governance model within the Cardano community. I believe that a decentralized system thrives when all voices are heard and respected, and I am committed to ensuring that each decision reflects the best interests of the network and its members. I aim to bring careful consideration and thoughtful insights to every proposal, always prioritizing long-term value and stability for Cardano. My approach is grounded in integrity, transparency, and collaboration, and I’m dedicated to building trust through consistent, responsible participation. In this role, I hope to encourage more community members to engage in governance, make well-informed decisions, and collectively shape a robust future for Cardano.
  qualifications: With a solid foundation in online marketing, particularly SEO, and recent completion of studies in AI and Marketing at Erasmus University Rotterdam, I bring a strategic and analytical approach to the DRep role. My expertise in distilling complex information and developing effective communication strategies enables me to make informed decisions and engage the community effectively. A deep interest in blockchain technology and macro-financial developments further equips me to navigate the evolving landscape of Cardano's governance. My commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and fostering trust aligns with Cardano's mission for a decentralized future.
