What I'm looking for

I want to support evidence-based sustainability and earth-science work—reviewing and editing research, building risk and water-management models, and delivering training that helps teams implement practical environmental strategies.

I’m a sustainability, environment and earth sciences consultant, creating training content and supporting organizations in implementing sustainable strategies and programs. I also work as an Environment, Sustainability and Earth Sciences research editor, guiding young researchers through technical editing and consultancy while focusing on promoting everyday sustainable living.

In my recent role as a reviewer, I apply my earth-science background to improve environmental work quality from the research side. Earlier, I contributed to EU-related arsenic risk assessment across European countries for the AgriAs project, built exposure modelling for human health risk assessment, and helped drive improved water management outcomes. I’ve also edited over 500 research papers and consulted on 15 sustainability projects, increasing project efficiency by 25%.
