What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use ESG data analysis, GHG emissions accounting, and KPI monitoring to deliver investor-ready sustainability reporting aligned to GRI/CSRD, while growing my impact on climate risk and sustainability strategy.

I’m an ESG & Sustainability Analyst with 2+ years of experience in ESG research, sustainability reporting, and climate-related data analysis. I turn complex ESG datasets into clear, decision-ready insights—grounded in frameworks like GRI, BRSR, SASB, and CSRD.

At SG Analytics, I conducted ESG data collection, analysis, and benchmarking for private equity clients, preparing reports aligned to GRI, SFDR, and CSRD to support investor disclosures and LP submissions. I also performed GHG emissions analysis, tracked ESG KPIs and PAI metrics, and managed quarterly ESG KPI reporting and regulatory disclosures. I improved reporting accuracy by 15% through enhanced ESG data validation and quality control processes.

I’m especially motivated by the intersection of climate performance and strategy. My work supports sustainability assessments for portfolio companies and helps organizations shape ESG roadmaps and sustainability strategies with credible, evidence-based reporting.

Outside ESG analytics, I’ve led marketing and operations work where I monitored operational KPIs and prepared performance reporting. Earlier, as a Finance Intern, I supported GST and income tax audits by compiling financial data and reconciling ledgers—experience that sharpened my attention to detail, documentation, and audit readiness.
