What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply LCA, carbon accounting, and sustainability strategy to drive measurable carbon reduction, support evidence-based policy and stakeholder engagement, and deliver research-backed sustainability projects.

I’m a PhD-trained Agricultural Economist and sustainability researcher with 8+ years of experience in climate adaptation and environmental sustainability. I specialize in carbon accounting, lifecycle assessment (LCA), and sustainability strategy, translating complex environmental data into practical carbon reduction planning and environmental impact assessments.

I’ve led international research projects funded by the EU Horizon 2020, DEFRA, and public-sector organizations, including delivering evidence for climate and bioenergy policy. In my recent roles, I’ve supported sustainability initiatives across healthcare systems, assessed environmental impacts of poultry production using LCA on a DEFRA-funded project, and helped councils evaluate renewable energy options, greenhouse-gas emissions pathways, and solar PV performance.
