Energy & Sustainability Technical Strategist

I am a GRI-certified sustainability expert with a diverse background in energy engineering, environmental management, and social impact. I have completed graduate-level training in the SDGs from the United Nations’ University for Peace, and I am skilled in the development and implementation of sustainability strategies. With my strong technical analysis capabilities and engineering experience, I can help your organization to tackle complex issues in clean energy, energy efficiency, carbon and particulate emissions, circular economy, and environmental and social impact assessment. My past consulting projects have honed my expertise in managing technical research and engaging in strategic planning with cross-functional stakeholders. I have worked in both the public and private sectors, including supervision of teams for clean energy deployment in the Global South. My services include support in developing ESG reports, aligning your organization’s operations with the targets of the SDGs, developing science-based targets in accordance with SBTi, road-mapping and strategic planning for sustainability initiatives, understanding and improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, creating clean energy plans, and conducting data analysis and predictive studies to understand both your current impact and how it may be altered by different types of sustainability decisions. In providing these services, I will also bring awareness of the political, social, and cultural contexts that apply to your organization and its stakeholders. I can help your team to understand how new initiatives can improve your bottom line, bolster consumer trust, and build your long-term relationships with the community and our ecosystems. My past clients have spanned from large international corporations, to small businesses, to public agencies such as the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. Thus, I understand how to tailor my services to the needs of different types of organizations, and I can deliver solutions both big and small.
