Environmental Policy Specialist with more than 10 years of experience working for NGOs and non-profits in the area of sustainable development and conservation. I hold a BA in Environmental Geography, Msc. in Sustainable Environmental Resources Management, and MSc. in Integrated Science and Technology. Currently working on a PhD in Environmental Policy and Ecology. I am a former Fellow with the Energy Futures Lab and founded Treebridge Conservation, which focuses mainly on carbon offset project development but also offers sustainability consulting, grant proposal writing for sustainable tech, and content writing for environmentally-focused organizations. I have worked extensively in the field over my career, including with the Iwokama Center for Conservation in Guyana, Ecology Project International in Belize, and BlueMX in Mexico. My work has been published by the UN, Maclean's, CWF, IISD, and other outlets, in addition to ESG, CSR, and sustainability reports that I have been commissioned to write for SMEs and multi-billion dollar corporations in North America, Europe, and the MIddle East. Aside from my professional experience, I am a former student-athlete and current avid traveller. I am a very inquisitive person and need to explore and discover as much as I can, having lived in 11 countries on 4 continents. Immersing in foreign cultures is a great way to gain a better perspective of the world, and I try to do this as much as possible. My ultimate goal in life is to have a positive impact on the planet, however small, and foster scientific literacy as we move towards a better, brighter future.

In-depth climate change, climate policy, and green tech writing services for professional, policy, and business audiences that need clear context and insight. Hi there! I'm an environmental writer, researcher, and journalist with over 20 years of experience producing in depth analysis on climate policy, clean energy, sustainability, and environmental systems. I work with law firms, consulting agencies, advocacy organizations, research institutions, and climate focused companies that need accurate, well reasoned content for professional and policy audiences. My work sits at the intersection of policy, business, and environmental change. I specialize in translating complex and technical subjects into clear, structured writing without sacrificing accuracy or nuance. This includes topics such as climate regulation, clean energy systems, sustainable finance, environmental health, and emerging green technologies. I bring an interdisciplinary perspective informed by formal study in psychology, geography, sustainability, and journalism. This background allows me to assess environmental issues not only from a technical standpoint, but also through their social, political, and economic implications. The result is writing that is analytical, balanced, and accessible to diverse audiences, including policymakers, business leaders, and environmental advocates. I have published thousands of articles and contributed to reports intended for decision makers, including work for the United Nations Environment Program. My research and analysis have been cited across academic and policy focused publications, and I am currently spearheading Change Oracle’s Polycrisis Project, which examines the interconnected nature of climate, political, and economic crises. Clients work with me when they need an environmental writer who combines subject matter expertise with strategic clarity, understands complex regulatory and market contexts, and delivers content that informs decisions. My writing combines deep subject matter expertise with accessible communication, allowing technical topics to be understood across policy, business, and public audiences commonly serviced by: - Law firms and regulatory practices - Consulting and advisory firms - Advocacy and conservation organizations - Think tanks and research institutions - Clean energy investment firms - Climate technology startups - Brand and marketing agencies My areas of expertise include: - Climate Policy and Regulation: Federal and international climate legislation, regulatory compliance, carbon pricing, environmental justice, clean energy policy, climate finance, and corporate disclosure requirements. - Green Technology and Innovation: Renewable energy, energy storage, carbon capture, carbon removal, climate technology startups, AI and blockchain applications, smart infrastructure, and environmental monitoring. - Renewable Energy and Clean Power: Solar, wind, hydrogen, grid modernization, distributed energy systems, energy justice, and efficiency strategies. - Climate Finance and Investment: Green bonds, ESG integration, carbon markets, impact investing, transition finance, biodiversity credits, and climate venture capital. - Environmental Health and Science: ​Air and water quality, toxicology, climate health impacts, environmental justice, microplastics, indoor air quality, and climate related mental health. - Corporate Environmental Strategy: Net zero planning, Scope 3 emissions, ESG reporting, supply chain transparency, and sustainability governance. I can help with: 1. Climate & Environmental Writing: In depth analysis on climate policy, clean energy, environmental health, and sustainability strategy. 2. Thought Leadership: Insight driven content that positions organizations and leaders as credible voices in climate, energy, and environmental discourse. 3. White Papers & Reports: Research based publications designed for policymakers, investors, and professional stakeholders. 4.
