Summary
- I’m a motivated and professional MSc Environmental Sustainability student with a background in Business Management, looking forward to starting my career after years of dedicated study. I’m genuinely excited about stepping into a new industry and bringing my energy, curiosity, and transferable skills to a company that values growth and collaboration. I’m eager to gain hands-on experience, apply what I’ve learned in a real-world setting, and be part of a team where I can make a meaningful contribution. I learn quickly, work hard, and thrive when I’m involved in a project where I can grow, support others, and make a difference.
