I seek an opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams, engage in regulatory compliance efforts, and drive innovation in ESG reporting. A company that values data integrity, governance, and proactive sustainability strategies is ideal for me. Additionally, I want to work in an environment where I can continue to expand my knowledge of ESG frameworks, emerging trends, and risk mitigation strategies while making a meaningful impact on climate-conscious investment decisions.

I collaborated with internal teams, external auditors, and third-party vendors to develop automated reporting mechanisms, data validation processes, and regulatory compliance strategies. Through this effort, I improved data accuracy, reduced ESG compliance risks, and optimized sustainability reporting workflows, reinforcing my ability to solve complex ESG data challenges effectively.
