Jessica and her team were very kind and easy to work with-- responses were fast so I could complete the project to the best of my ability, and they clearly were looking out for me as a person rather than just my work. Thank you very much again!

By contributing to various aspects of project management, I've significantly enhanced project efficiency, bolstering the organization's impact. My involvement extends beyond project management into the realm of sustainability research. I've actively contributed to compiling sustainability case studies, meticulously gathering and organizing data to identify best practices and innovative solutions for addressing contemporary challenges. Moreover, I've honed my skills in written communication through report writing endeavours. From drafting sections to ensuring clarity in presenting information, I've been instrumental in articulating findings to diverse audiences, thereby fostering understanding and driving informed decision-making. Conducting thorough literature reviews has been another cornerstone of my responsibilities. By synthesizing current research and trends in sustainability, I've gained invaluable insights into emerging issues and potential avenues for impactful interventions.
