HELLO HUMAN,
I’m NIM…
And for me, the most important title in life is 'Human.'
Reading is my inhale.
Writing is my exhale.
Connecting with other humans is the rhythm of my heartbeat.
MY WHY
Stories are our greatest passport to connection - with ourselves, and each other.
I’m a lifelong explorer of the human condition, on a global quest to unravel the mysteries and power of connection.
For 8 years across 64 countries, I’ve documented the state of community and human connection. This anthropological field trip began one lonely day in New York City, where I questioned:
How do we stay connected in a world that sometimes feels so disconnected?
I have been facilitating, writing, interviewing, documenting and living through the lens of this North Star question. I put high value on approaching my work and life with humility, honesty, and humanness.
Books fuel my veins; humans ignite my spirit.
I dream of publishing my book on this lifelong quest for connection, helping others discover more meaningful intergenerational and social connections in their own lives.
People often say you can feel my 'Why' radiate through my energy, presence, and curiosity.
Join me on the journey to RE-CONNECT, together.
QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS = HEALTHY LIVES

WHAT’S MY BACKGROUND?
AN EPIC career JOURNEY
At Redbull, I launched my career as a Student Brand Manager, unleashing my signature, "Nimenergy" which continues to fuel others today.
With a Bachelor of Photography, I harnessed the camera's power for human connection.
From marketing, advertising, brand, people innovation, and intrapreneurship, I ventured across the globe - USA, UK, Bermuda, UAE, and Australia - co-piloting CEOs, Polar Explorers, and Board of Directors, driving cultural transformation and innovation from within companies.
As the world's first "Chief Next Generation Officer," I joined forces with global CEO Mike Dolan, bridging generations for impactful collaborations. He was age 70, I was 30, and together we were a dream, intergenerational team. This chapter firmly cemented the power of intergenerational collaboration.
From the C Suite to the streets in a career #egoshed chapter, I embraced humility as an intern at the Modern Elder Academy, Mexico. Working with Christine Sperber, Jeff Hamoui, and Chip Conley at ‘MEA’, the world's first midlife wisdom school. Catalyst Fellow, Intern, workshop participant and then joining their Guest Faculty - MEA unfolded my ‘why’ in life like a perfect origami.
Renowned explorer Robert Swan OBE hailed me as "Diversity glue," uniting people across ages and backgrounds. Our collaboration thrived in Antarctica, where I joined Swan's leadership program as one of 90 global future leaders.
A powerful encounter in Antarctica with Christina Beckmann led us to co-found "Tomorrow's Air" in 2018 —the world's first carbon removal collective. We are a dynamic, cross-generational, cross-continental team.
Selected among thousands, I joined the United Nations "Unleash" Innovation Lab, driving social and environmental innovation for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in China.
Sitting on the Advisory Board of Sparks & Honey, I collaborate with the New York-based cultural consultancy, solving challenges for Fortune 500 companies.
My journey is an epic tale, intertwined with passion, purpose and connection. Discover the unfiltered story behind the story.
LIFE PHILOSOPHY
Unleashing Intergenerational Wisdom: Connecting through Lived Experiences
At the heart of my conversations lies a profound appreciation for cross-generational relationships, mentoring, and championing—a testament to our shared humanity, how we aspire to live, and who we want to be to each other.
Age knows no boundaries when it comes to offering valuable insights and learning from one another.
In this unprecedented era of age diversity, I seize the opportunity to embrace its potential. As a 'lifestorian', I've immersed myself in the stories of Modern Elders and facilitated workshops on Intergenerational Wisdom Sharing across the globe.
With endless empathy, patience, and respect for our Modern Elders, I believe our lived experiences are a powerful passport to authentic connections—with ourselves and others.
My philosophy for living a fulfilling life
LET’S GET REAL
Embracing Authenticity and Connection
While my life has been filled with adventure and fulfilment, it's crucial to recognize that the curated "highlight reels" on social media rarely capture the true complexity of our human experiences.
While researching all things connection, my curiosity has been fueled by moments of disconnection—when I've grappled with identity shifts or sought to belong in unfamiliar territories. Throughout my human journey, I've battled with chapters of loneliness, depression and anxiety. Like you, I have encountered loss, heartbreak, and grief that have profoundly shaped me into the human I am today.
I continue to navigate the highs and lows of the human experience, both the triumphs and the setbacks.
Understanding that we all share these universal moments is a vital reminder of our shared humanity.
