What I'm looking for

I am a Carbon Markets and Sustainability professional with 2+ years of experience in carbon project validation and verification, GHG accounting, environmental management, and technical project delivery. In my current role at a Validation and Verification Body, I have worked across CDM, GCC, VCS, and Gold Standard projects, covering Renewable Energy and Energy Demand/Efficiency sectors. I have led 15+ projects as a Team Leader and contributed to approximately 30 additional projects as a Validator/Verifier, giving me experience across around 45 carbon projects.

My work involves GHG calculations and data analysis, technical and evidence reviews, ISO 14064-based assessments, audit documentation, stakeholder coordination, findings resolution, and technical reporting. I hold an MSc in Environmental Management from the University of Stirling and a BSc in Geology.

I am interested in opportunities in carbon markets, GHG accounting, sustainability and ESG consulting, climate strategy, decarbonisation, environmental consulting, climate risk, and sustainability reporting. I am particularly interested in roles where I can combine my technical carbon-market experience with broader sustainability and environmental challenges, while developing further expertise in consulting, strategy, and climate solutions.
