What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive ESG and decarbonization through audits, carbon accounting, and stakeholder engagement—turning data into operational action that supports net-zero targets and continuous improvement.

I’m a highly motivated Sustainability Professional with an MSc in Global Environmental Change and a proven track record implementing impactful ESG initiatives. I translate complex environmental goals into actionable strategies, supporting organizational net-zero objectives, sustainable resource management, and stakeholder-ready reporting.

In hospitality and education settings, I’ve led practical sustainability work—conducting energy, water, and food waste audits, introducing waste sorting protocols, and achieving a 40% landfill waste reduction. Most recently, as an Independent Carbon Credit Consultant, I support carbon footprint analysis and evaluate carbon credit projects, including screening for quality, permanence, and reputational risk to avoid greenwashing claims.
