At My Sustainable Classroom, I intend to deliver a range of environmental, waste and sustainabililty related courses to improve the environmental performance across various industries and workplace environments.
This course has been created using my global environmental sustainability expertise, advisory and training experience that spans over 25 years across large multinationals, SME’s, supply chain, public sector, as well as the higher education sector.
A bit about me!
While enrolled at York University (Canada) in the Environmental Studies program, I started my career as an environmental assistant, implementing ISO 14001 across several sister companies in the film and photography sector.
Since then, my career has seen me collaborating with manufacturing plants and public sector organizations, implementing environmental management systems, driving environmental performance, revolutionizing waste management operations, improving wastewater treatment, managing environmental compliance & emissions reporting, and executing employee training strategies for environmental sustainability.
Why I created this course?
Sustainability is changing the way businesses must operate. Additionally jobs are changing, the sustainability sector is growing and demand for employees with environmental knowledge and skills is rising.
Whilst I have spent my entire career passionately driving positive and impactful change so that I can proudly say that I did my best to conserve our environment, the journey has just started.
I'm fueled by an unwavering zeal to drive real change in work environments everywhere, and that's why I'm eager to share my 25 years plus wealth of knowledge to help you make those changes.
