Our Team

Claudia founded No Ordinary Life (NOL) in September 2016. After a tough year on the hunt for the 'perfect' job, she was met with many disappointments and became confused on what steps to take to land her dream job. 

Her vision for NOL is for people to realise their dreams and full potential, and contribute to the social, economic, environmental and political growth in their home countries or wherever they find themselves.

For leisure Claudia enjoys blogging, planning events, designing products, editing videos for her YouTube channels and traveling.

Maximo is a development practitioner who has specialised in monitoring and evaluation. He has held several roles as a data contractor, monitoring officer and consultant for development projects in different sectors including health, education and gender. 

Here is Maximo in his own words:

I am an avid football fan and enjoy watching documentaries because learning never stops. During my adolescent years, I was not furnished with skills that could have assisted me in my professional career and had to figure it out later on. 

NOL is giving young people the platform to hone these skills at an early age which I did not have at the time and this is why I support the organisation. My dream for the youth is to become more confident in their skills and discover their true passion to effectively change the world. With the right attitude and a sense of togetherness, I believe the youth can achieve anything they want to in life.
