Sustainability consultant at Synergy Foundation guiding businesses toward practical environmental improvements.

At Synergy Foundation, I guide business clients through sustainability assessments and practical action plans to reduce their environmental footprint. I manage client files and track progress using SharePoint, alongside a distributed team.
