About
I am a driven and motivated recent graduate with a broad interest in the global energy transition and environmental sustainability. As a result of my strong personal commitments to fight climate change, I am actively seeking new challenges which allow me to apply my knowledge and skills to issues where I can make an impact. Currently taking a gap year before pursuing a Master's degree, I am open to internship opportunities in sustainability, international development, and environmental policy.
