I am a PhD Fellow at Politecnico di Torino, where I conduct research in participatory practice for Urban Transformation and sustainable development. With over 15 years of experience as a sustainability consultant and marketer, I help clients across various sectors and disciplines achieve their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals and enhance their corporate social responsibility (CSR) impact. My core competencies include sustainability program planning and management, policy development, auditing and benchmarking, writing and editing, and cross-cultural communication and collaboration. I have worked with the UNESCO Sustainable Tourism Programme and NGOs in Morocco and Italy, as well as served as a city alderperson and a heritage preservation commission chairman in Wisconsin. My passion is to leverage my skills and knowledge to create positive change for communities and the planet.
