Background

About Simone Poku

I’m a student at McGill University with interests in international development, entrepreneurship, and strategic communication. I believe in the power of research, policy, and community-driven initiatives to create lasting change, and I’m committed to using my skills to drive impact in education, advocacy, and youth empowerment. My work spans across policy research, stakeholder engagement, and fundraising strategy, equipping me with the ability to navigate complex global issues. I thrive in spaces where I can analyze challenges, collaborate with diverse teams, and develop solutions that empower marginalized communities. Beyond research and advocacy, I’m deeply involved in campus and nonprofit leadership, spearheading initiatives that mobilize students, strengthen fundraising efforts and foster meaningful community engagement. Whether leading high-impact projects, supporting students in their educational journeys, or creating strategies for long-term sustainability, I’m always looking for innovative ways to make a difference. I strongly believe in fostering change through collaboration. I’m always open to connecting with professionals, organizations, and fellow changemakers.
