What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in sustainability and offers opportunities for impactful research.

I am a dedicated researcher with a strong focus on sustainability and food systems. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, followed by a Master of Arts in Sustainable Development & Global Governance. I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position as a Freelance Researcher, where I conduct in-depth research on food waste initiatives and draft grant proposals to support sustainable practices.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with organizations like the porCausa Foundation and Friends of Manatee Lagoon, where I utilized my analytical skills to synthesize complex data and create engaging narratives. My experience in data analysis and visualization, coupled with my ability to communicate effectively, allows me to contribute meaningfully to projects aimed at enhancing sustainability and addressing pressing global challenges.
