During my time at ZAIS I work to design strategies that aim to offer competitive financial returns plus positive social and/or environmental impact. I evaluate the ESG credentials of companies through ESG research and scoring as well as synthesizing and presenting opinions on companies’ exposure to ESG risks and opportunities to investment teams as a part of ESG integration. I investigate and evaluate data providers, data sources, and other relevant technological opportunities and collaborate with the ESG team to further develop proprietary ESG analysis methodologies including screening methodologies, data collection, data analysis, portfolio construction and modeling.

Conduct research in impact investing to support SustainChain's member organizations in achieving their sustainability goals. Collaborate with those organizations to better understand their needs and opportunities and support them in their work. Do market research work on impact investing as well as past and current trends.

During my time at ARCHIVE Global I worked on a variety of research and development tasks that included reviewing existing socio-economic data collected.
