About

I am a Senior Climate and Environmental Policy Specialist with over a decade of experience in international climate negotiations and policy development. I specialise in Just Transition and environmental diplomacy, with a strong track record supporting Australia’s engagement in multilateralism and global climate forums, working closely with UN bodies, partner governments, and international organisations. Relocating to Mexico City in mid-2026, I am looking to apply my technical expertise and cross-cultural coordination skills to climate and sustainability challenges in the Latin American context. I bring a collaborative, outcomes-focused approach, with native English and advanced Spanish (C1 in progress).

Core competencies include:
• International Climate Policy & Negotiations: Contributing to complex multilateral processes, including UNFCCC and COP sessions.
• Just Transition & Sustainable Development: Advancing equitable economic and social outcomes in climate policy frameworks.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Orchestrating collaboration across governments, institutions, and expert networks.
• Technical Policy Analysis & Strategy: Delivering comparative insights and strategic advice on global environmental and ESG issues.

I am particularly interested in senior specialist or lead roles across international NGOs, multilateral organisations, consulting firms, and government agencies working on climate change, environmental policy, and sustainable development in Mexico or remotely. Open to connecting and discussing potential collaborations in the CDMX sustainability ecosystem.
