I have served in a variety of roles where I assist clients in achieving their operational goals sustainably.In the power and energy sectors, I conducted comprehensive reviews of corporate sustainability reports, Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) reports, Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) reports, Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) reports, and standard financial reporting. Focusing on climate transition planning, GHG reporting, and biodiversity initiatives, I leveraged this data to produce detailed benchmarking reports, actionable insights, and strategic recommendations for clients to meet internal and global sustainable development goals.In the oil and gas sector, I contributed to energy development projects by assisting in geospatial analyses, developing figures, and presenting findings. Topics related to these projects include environmental impacts, coastline habitat sensitivity mapping, water resourcing impacts of climate change, infrastructure planning, and cultural resource impacts. I utilized a variety of software programs including ESRI GIS software, Survey 123, and Google Earth. The figures and data I helped produce were distributed throughout client organizations and utilized to inform client planning and investment decisions.In the financial sector, I assisted in the revision of a client’s climate change policy and drafted internal guidance documents on project specific climate risk mitigation and adaptation planning in potential investments. I also produced an executive-level summary on the current and future state TNFD in the financial sector with special focus on the client’s ability to be at the forefront of significant positive change for biodiversity reporting. My contributions to policy and operational procedures were used to help determine appropriate levels of physical climate change risk in potential project investments, assist in project planning, and improve project monitoring practices.
