About

I am an environmental and sustainability specialist with a strong background in ESG, climate action, and the circular economy. Holding a degree in Natural Resource Management, I have developed expertise in climate financing, waste management, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable real estate. My work involves promoting sustainable practices that balance economic growth with environmental conservation, ensuring businesses and communities adopt responsible solutions to mitigate climate change.

One of my most impactful projects was leading a waste categorization initiative in African communities, where waste sorting was not commonly practiced. By educating residents on the importance of separating waste at the source, we improved recycling efforts and enhanced the efficiency of waste management systems. Additionally, my research on the environmental and socio-economic impacts of geothermal power plants in Kenya has given me in-depth knowledge of sustainable urban planning, infrastructure development, and the environmental justice issues affecting marginalized communities.

My experience extends beyond community projects into corporate and policy-driven sustainability efforts. I have worked in ESG-focused roles, helping organizations implement responsible business practices, track environmental impact, and align with global sustainability standards. Additionally, my training in carbon markets and climate financing, particularly in the e-mobility sector, has strengthened my ability to support businesses and governments in achieving their net-zero goals. My background in real estate sustainability also allows me to integrate green solutions into urban development projects, promoting energy efficiency and low-carbon infrastructure.

Beyond my technical skills, I am a fast learner who thrives in dynamic and challenging environments. I quickly adapt to new technologies, policies, and sustainability frameworks, allowing me to provide innovative solutions to complex environmental problems. My ability to analyze data, conduct research, and implement strategies makes me a valuable asset in driving climate resilience and conservation efforts.

I am also a team player who values collaboration and stakeholder engagement. I have worked with diverse teams across industries, fostering relationships that drive impactful sustainability projects. My strong communication skills enable me to engage effectively with community members, corporate leaders, and policymakers, ensuring that sustainability initiatives are both practical and inclusive. Passionate about environmental justice and sustainable development, I am dedicated to creating long-term solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
