I am a sustainability expert with a Master’s in Environment and Sustainability from Monash University, supported by over 8 years of experience in project management and maintaining client relationships. My career is driven by a passion for integrating sustainable solutions with existing policies to help institutions achieve their long-term sustainability objectives.My Master’s thesis, titled “Blue Carbon for Climate Change Mitigation in Fiji: Institutional challenges, Actor relations, and Policy Implications,” earned a High Distinction. This research was conducted in partnership with Fiji National University under the Pacific Action for Climate Transitions (PACT) initiative and included extensive fieldwork in Fiji to explore blue carbon strategies and their implications.As a Sustainability, Monitoring, and Evaluation Volunteer at Whittlesea Community Connections, I am playing an active role in designing a sustainability plan and developing a waste management workshop. Additionally, I contributed to creating a benchmark Green Report for Belgravia Sustainability, focusing on greenhouse gas methodologies to enhance sustainability practices in aquatic centres.Recently, I was selected as a UN COP29 Virtual Delegate, representing Monash University, where I am expanding my understanding of international climate policy and carbon markets.My passion lies in advocating for the environment, and I am committed to helping organisations achieve meaningful environmental change through nature-based climate solutions. I am always open to connecting with professionals and organisations dedicated to driving sustainable impact.
