About

I am pursuing a Master's degree in ESG Management at King's College London (King's Business School). I received my undergraduate degree in Geography-Environmental Studies at UCLA, and I have experience in corporate sustainability in real estate and retail, impact investment, non-profit, and environment-social-governance (ESG) consulting. I am experienced in research and analysis, peer and industry benchmarking, identifying and solving issues, and synthesizing research to create deliverables to present to internal stakeholders, such as managers and firm partners. I have knowledge and experience with all steps related to the production and publication of Corporate Sustainability Reports. I have worked with global ESG disclosure frameworks (CDP, GRESB, SASB, TCFD, SBTi, GRI, and UN SDGs); industry deforestation certifications (FSI, SFI, PEFC, RSPO); sustainability rating agencies (Sustainalytics, ISS, MSCI, S&P Global). I am excited by the challenges of improving profitability while highlighting a sustainable environmental impact, and I am passionate about the transition toward a sustainable and just future.
