How we got here.

I was sitting behind my laptop, coffee mug in hand, telling the interviewer about my degree. I was in a three-month period of (too many) job applications; first, second, and third-round interviews; and a constant pit in my stomach. Each interview panel I met I was struggling to connect with. I wasn't inspired by how they were talking about their company’s sustainability work. I realized that my idea of corporate sustainability is different. Rather than a chore, a checklist, (a one-time project?), or a shelf-ware report, I envision sustainability as the heart of the business. I want it to be a binding agent to an ecosystem of teams working towards a mission bigger than themselves. So instead of starting another cover letter, I started freelancing. I began with (a LOT) of technical copywriting. Then ESG reporting. Then go-to-market strategies and environmental communications. Each project was cut and dry, with a clear beginning and end. But that’s where the problem was for me; patchwork projects being done by an outsider couldn't capture the spirit and culture of a company, and they were one-off deliverables which sat in a Google drive.

So, here I am. Changing the way I do business. I am a fractional CSO. I become part of the fabric of your business; I understand your values and culture, in order to instill impactful progress into every facet of your operations, management, and reporting. Sustainability work isn't a trend - it's here to stay. You need support to make this happen, and that’s what I'm here for.
