My Story

At 26 years, I am still figuring out and learning new things about life and the many curve-balls it has to offer. I am certain that even at 76, I would still not have figured everything out. Therefore, amidst all this perpetual chaos, there is only one thing I wish to do- a genuine attempt at living life.

Through the course of my formal education, not least my master’s in sustainability, I learnt that the world is at the face of many crises- environmental, social, and economic. As an earthling and a human, the least I can do is to leave this a better place than the one I had found- hence my goal. If you are interested, I encourage you to read my blog where I mainly write about sustainability.

Professionally, I am a sustainability engineer with 3 years experience in the field. I bring a logical and analytical perspective to the table along with a lot of curiosity. You can read about my professional experience below.

In other times, I try to feed my intellectual and creative self through my love for poetry, photography, and basically learning new things. I encourage you to check out my poems and photography.

My Goal

Science established that today’s climate change is anthropogenic.

Yesterday's Industrialisation meant that our pursuit of economic growth caused adverse affects on the environment and the people. We are observing the grave consequences of pushing the planetary boundaries towards and beyond their tipping point in the form of rising temperatures, melting glaciers, change in land use. The consequences of these activities affect the entire human population- some more than the other. But are we doing enough?

I have a dream- by 2050, I want to see a world with temperature rise below 1.5°, climate equity, and a stable economy.

Today, I can help you embark on and accelerate your journey towards sustainability through my formal education and relentless passion towards it.

Tomorrow, we will together leave the future generations a world that they are proud of.
