Sustainability and biodiversity consultant and researcher
About me
I'm a sustainability professional with 10 years of experience across NGOs, academia and the private sector. For the last 5 years, I specialize in designing and supporting corporate sustainability projects, with a focus on biodiversity, circular economy, e-waste management, and sustainable procurement.

With degrees in Geoecology and Global Environmental Issues, plus an MSc in Conservation from UCL, I bring both strong academic training and real-world expertise.

I’m trusted to handle complex sustainability challenges with a scientifically grounded, precise, and reliable approach — all while keeping collaboration friendly and consistent.
