Summary

As a wastewater engineer, I have developed knowledge in technical analysis, regulatory compliance, and sustainable infrastructure. My work evaluating sludge processing, gas storage, and process control systems has reinforced my interest in ESG strategy. I have experience modeling systems, conducting cost-benefit analyses, and presenting technical findings, strengthening my ability to assess risks and implement data-driven solutions. The MSc in ESG Management at King’s Business School aligns with my goal of integrating sustainability into engineering and infrastructure projects. I am eager to build on my technical background to develop ESG strategies that balance environmental responsibility with business performance.
