About

I am an Environmental Science student with a strong interest in sustainability and environmental data analysis, focused on applying scientific evidence to real-world challenges. My academic work has combined field-based environmental monitoring with quantitative analysis, including the use of R for statistical analysis and QGIS for spatial mapping. I have conducted research investigating air quality and environmental variation across urban environments, analysing factors such as PM₂.₅, CO₂, temperature, and noise. Alongside my degree, I have gained practical sustainability experience through industry placements. During my internship at Vitaflo (part of Nestlé Health Science), I supported sustainability and product development teams by evaluating the environmental performance of products and packaging, and contributing to sustainability communication strategies. In my sustainability placement with Bean Coffee, I researched environmental impacts within coffee supply chains, analysed industry practices, and developed recommendations to improve sustainability communication and transparency. I have developed strengths in environmental analysis, sustainability, GIS, and data interpretation, and I am particularly interested in roles where data can support more sustainable decision-making. I am currently seeking graduate opportunities in sustainability, environmental consultancy, or environmental analysis.
