As a former professional chef in a high-pressure industry, I bring a blend of attention to detail, project- and team management experience, and a passion for sustainable practices. My time in the hospitality industry has honed my problem solving capabilities, working within diverse and multi-disciplinary teams and adaptability in approaching complex issues which are crucial in the field of environmental science.
I am excited to transition into environmental science where I can combine my knowledge and a passion for ecological stewardship.
