I'm an experienced sustainability writer, researcher, and consultant specializing in biology, sustainability, CSR, and ESG analysis and reporting. My educational background in Biology and Environment Science has helped ensure I will always write high-quality content sourced from peer-reviewed journals, government agencies, and reliable research groups. No greenwashing here! If you like a job done thoroughly, we'll get along well. I have been in the sustainability field for 9 years and love every part of it, from shoveling compost to calculating emissions to researching new credentials and standards in the industry. Projects I've worked on include: - ESG Reports for both public and private companies, government, and higher education aligned to GRI, SDG, IPCC, and SASB standards - B2C articles, web pages, product descriptions, books, and thought leadership posts - B2B white papers, internal reports, technical research, and data analysis - Providing feedback on new sustainability-related products and services such as carbon accounting platforms or decarbonization software - acting as a Sustainability Director-for-hire for small businesses, sitting in on investor calls, managing philanthropy and giving, and overseeing teams carrying out sustainability efforts and measuring ESG metrics and KPIs I've worked with clients in a variety of industries: manufacturing, energy, marketing, fashion, science, academia, travel, finance, and more. New to sustainability? No problem! Whether you've been around a while and need help with your ESG report, or are just getting your business off the ground and are looking for SEO-optimized content or a benchmarking analysis of your industry's sustainability initiatives, I'd love to help out! My passion is for science and sustainability, but if you're in need of a thorough researcher and editor I'm happy to research and write about all types of content :)
