I'm committed to optimizing human potential and tapping into the immense power of nature to find solutions.

I believe nature has all the answers and with the right tools and resources, everyone and every organization is capable of unleashing their full potential to create good in the world.

I’m a systems thinker with progressive experience in overseeing and managing sustainability-related programs, assessing environmental and social risks, aligning sustainability with strategic direction, creating social impact for businesses and integrating sustainability into the core business through various channels.

My mission is to increase awareness about environmental and social issues, help people understand the consequences of their actions, guide them to better consumption models and inspire behavior change.
