What I'm looking for

I am seeking an ESG or sustainability role where I can combine research, client-facing product work, and regulatory advisory in a collaborative team focused on measurable climate impact and professional growth.

I am an ESG and sustainability professional with a background in international development and fintech, driven by a strong commitment to climate justice. I combine research, analytical and communication skills with hands-on product and client-facing experience.

At Clarity AI I served as a Junior Associate in Product Success, onboarding and advising Asset Manager and Asset Owner clients on ESG risk and regulatory frameworks including TCFD, SFDR, Net Zero and the EU Taxonomy. I worked cross-functionally with Product, Account Executives and Marketing to escalate complex issues and influence product improvements.

Previously, I performed market research and product support roles in fintech and environmental services startups, contributing to merchant onboarding, executive presentations for partner banks, and supporting an AI-driven supply chain emissions platform. I have experience liaising with international clients and producing precise translations to facilitate agreements.

I am multilingual, technically comfortable with tools such as R Studio, Salesforce, Jira and Snowflake, and thrive in diverse, fast-paced teams where I can apply my resilience and dedication to drive measurable sustainability impact.
