My goal in life is to become a chief sustainability officer of a company, as I am passionate in environmental management. I’d like to do my part in contributing to the conservation of our planet from a corporate perspective. I know the struggles some of you guys might face.

I strive to ensure that everyone has a smooth and easy transition to their new chapter in life.
