I am a sustainability leader and professional with over 8 years of experience in corporate sustainability. My objective is to empower companies and institutions to pursue strategic and sustainable business operations. I take a holistic view, looking beyond the business, environmental and social components of a company or corporation to build sustainability practices within and connecting those components. Through my educational experiences in the United States, China and France, I am better able to understand and engage people of different cultural and political backgrounds ensuring successful implementation of programs across global organizations.
