@thaisrego
Trilingual socio-environmental governance professional managing large-scale Indigenous-focused projects.
What I'm looking for
I am a trilingual socio-environmental governance professional with over 15 years of experience coordinating projects, executive assistance, and customer service within Brazil's energy sector.
I have led major mitigation and community development programmes—managing multi-million BRL budgets, ensuring environmental compliance, and fostering Indigenous community autonomy across the Amazon region.
My strengths include full project-cycle management, stakeholder engagement with agencies like Funai and Ibama, field implementation in remote territories, and producing technical reports and compliance documentation.
I combine technical knowledge (ISO 14001 auditing, environmental licensing) with strong organizational skills, Microsoft Office and ERP experience, and a commitment to inclusive, sustainable solutions for socio-environmental challenges.
