Altiorem

After completing a Masters of Sustainability in 2019 at Sydney University, I began working in corporate sustainability at the Sydney Opera House before transitioning into the finance sector where I took up a position with Refinitiv, an ESG data provider, in a market development and ESG engagement function. Currently, I work in community engagement/business development for a social impact start up in the disability sector.

Experienced responsible investment specialist, with a proven track record leading global research projects, advancing ESG integration and developing effective stewardship strategies for asset owners, asset managers and banks.

A firm believer in life long learning, I aim to use my experience in the financial services sector, along with my ongoing studies, to contribute to society. I have a great interest in ESG principles, responsible investing (particularly impact investing) and social issues – especially anything addressing social or financial inequality. I’m also a keen scholar of most sports, and still manage to partake (slowly) in touch footy, swimming, cycling, tennis and yoga.

Currently the Sustainability Analyst at Ethical Partners Funds Management. Prior to Ethical Partners, I was the Marketing Manager at UNICEF Australia for 7 years.
