What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to drive sustainability initiatives and collaborate with diverse teams to create impactful environmental solutions.

As a project manager specializing in environmental engineering and energy efficiency, I have a proven track record of helping organizations achieve their sustainability goals. My international experience includes working on mining projects in Africa and advising clients on energy-saving solutions. Currently, I focus on project management, leveraging my expertise in energy efficiency, process improvement, and risk mitigation.

At L'Oréal Canada, I manage and plan large-scale environmental and sustainable projects, integrating agile management methodologies. I have successfully implemented energy efficiency solutions for a 100% renewable site and led real estate projects, including construction and renovation. My role also involves developing strategic roadmaps for impactful initiatives, such as promoting neurodiversity in the workplace through the DiversiTalent program.

With a strong emphasis on data analysis, I evaluate environmental footprints and provide recommendations to reduce CO₂ emissions and ensure compliance with group standards. I am passionate about fostering sustainable practices within organizations and have developed strategic partnerships to enhance the impact of environmental initiatives.
