What I'm looking for

I seek a sustainability role where I can drive ESG-aligned tourism strategies, grow consulting expertise, and collaborate across teams to deliver measurable impact.

I am an ambitious, impact-driven sustainability consultant specialized in the tourism and travel industry, combining hospitality training with hands-on ESG consulting experience.

I have supported ESG data analysis and non-financial reporting using frameworks such as GRI, TCFD, and CSRD while contributing to climate-related risk assessments and sustainability strategies for multinational clients at EY.

My background includes designing community-driven travel programming, delivering ESG-aligned strategic plans for destination marketing organizations, and managing B2B relationships and events across international settings.

I bring a get-things-done mindset, strong analytical skills, emotional intelligence, and a collaborative approach to drive measurable sustainability outcomes and help organizations operationalize ESG principles.
