What I'm looking for

I seek a sustainability role where I can integrate ESG into operations, lead stakeholder engagement, drive measurable emissions reductions, and grow within collaborative, impact-focused teams.

I am a sustainability-focused professional with hands-on experience as a Sustainability Analyst and Sustainable Development Officer, driving environmental initiatives, sustainable procurement, waste reduction and carbon-emissions opportunities while supporting net-zero targets. I combine a master's-level grounding in international management and sustainability with practical skills in data analysis, reporting and stakeholder collaboration.

I have developed and delivered sustainability training, led sustainability communications and reporting efforts, and supported cross-functional teams to integrate ESG considerations into business operations. I am committed to advancing responsible business practices and measurable sustainable growth through strategic planning, clear communications and collaborative implementation.
