Sustainability
starts within.
Over six years across corporate ESG and the nonprofit sector — in Hong Kong, Vancouver, and beyond — I've learned that the most durable sustainability work happens when strategy and genuine conviction are aligned. I've helped asset owners integrate ESG into investment decisions, guided manufacturers through decarbonisation planning, and trained communities on climate action.
The thread connecting all of it: systems change requires people who are clear on their own values first. That's part of why I'm a 500-hour certified yoga teacher. Yogic philosophy — discipline, long-term thinking, non-attachment to outcome — turns out to be good preparation for ESG work. Both ask you to hold complexity without flinching, and to keep showing up even when progress is slow.
