YEP Role

I was a consultant at Aidenvironment, a not-for-profit consultancy organisation that tackles issues on sustainability, environment, and water, mainly in tropical countries. They advise NGOs, governments and private sector organisations in their sustainability issues.  In Indonesia I was working on a landscape project in West Kalimantan that focused on the integration of economic development, nature conservation, and social sustainability in the area where palm oil plantations highly affect the natural environment.

Skills

During my studies I gained practical experience in the international environmental context through my MSc thesis and internship. I have a broad interest in topics and issues that relate to sustainable development on large and small scale. I would describe my personality as analytical and flexible with a practical and pragmatic view.
