Projects & Experience
My work sits at the intersection of circular economy, food systems, and sustainability communication. I translate environmental and social goals into operational systems, credible methodologies, and clear narratives that support community-driven, real-world impact. Grounded in formal training in environmental policy and experience across NGOs, startups, and international organizations, I’m drawn to work that connects strategy with implementation beyond theory.
