Climate Strategy | Program Delivery | Stakeholder Engagement

I help organizations turn climate and sustainability ambitions into structured programs, practical decisions and measurable action.

With more than 10 years of international experience, I have managed or supported over 350 sustainability projects across commercial real estate, manufacturing, agriculture, government and international development. My work spans climate and decarbonization strategy, ESG performance, sustainability certifications, carbon and environmental assessments, stakeholder engagement, training and organizational capacity building.

I bring together technical sustainability knowledge, program leadership and relationship management to help organizations move from analysis and commitments to implementation.

In May 2013, as an intern at the International Holistic Tourism Education Centre, I presented research on plastic pollution to the Mississauga Environmental Advisory Committee. The response caught me off guard: the Mayor forwarded my work to the Prime Minister, the Premier of Ontario, and several key Ministers. It informed municipal waste discussions and helped drive a redesign of residential bins with lids — a small policy shift that kept plastic out of watersheds and, eventually, the ocean. That was the moment I understood how far evidence-based advocacy could travel.

I carried that conviction abroad. After completing my MSc in Environmental Management in the UK, I joined GreenTech Consultants in Sri Lanka as Project Coordinator for the Biodiversity Baseline Survey of the Kala River Basin — surfacing hard truths about deforestation and the rural communities caught in its wake. My Managing Director recognized the work formally.

Sustainability, I learned, is never just data. It's people, policy, and the will to move both.
