What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to drive sustainability initiatives and foster community engagement within an innovative organization.

With a robust background in commerce and a passion for environmental education, I have dedicated my career to facilitating impactful community initiatives. Since 2023, I have been working as a Freelance CSR Facilitator in Barcelona, where I create and manage environmental awareness workshops and community events. My experience includes the successful opening of two coworking spaces, where I utilized collective intelligence and pedagogy to engage participants and promote learning.

Prior to my freelance work, I served as a Sales Manager at Talent Garden in Lille, France, where I developed sales strategies and managed key accounts. My role involved prospect acquisition and KPI tracking, ensuring that our business development efforts were aligned with our growth objectives. I also have experience in managing sales cycles and community integration, which has equipped me with the skills to drive innovative solutions in various environments.

I am committed to making a difference through my work, focusing on sustainability and community engagement. My goal is to leverage my skills in sales and community management to support organizations that prioritize environmental impact and social responsibility.
