About
I'm an MSc student in Environmental Management and Policy at Lund University, focusing on environmental policy and the energy transition. At Leiden University I studied International Relations with a minor in Sustainable Development, and as part of my degree carried out a material flow analysis for Bristol Myers Squibb and PreZero, presenting waste-reduction recommendations to company directors. I'm now the Director of Communications & Outreach at the European Youth Energy Network, leading a team of eight that runs communications for a network of over 2,000 students and young energy professionals across Europe. I'm open to internships and collaboration in energy and environmental policy.
