What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to influence environmental policies and engage with diverse stakeholders in meaningful ways.

I am a dedicated research consultant with a strong background in environmental policy and data analysis. My academic journey includes a Master of Science in Environmental Policy from University College Dublin, where I was honored with the UCD Global Scholarship. My thesis focused on energy justice concerns, showcasing my commitment to understanding complex environmental issues.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience working with various organizations, including the Council on Energy, Environment and Water, where I led research initiatives on crop residue burning and air quality management. My ability to engage with stakeholders and present research findings effectively has been instrumental in driving impactful policy discussions.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in data collection and analysis to contribute to sustainable environmental solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to continue making a difference in the field of environmental policy.
