I chose finance mainly because of how versatile it is in terms of covering a wide range of positions as well as being a great path into the renewable energy industry. I've always known that I'd want to work in energy sustainability one day and finance is a key aspect of how sustainability companies operate and become successful long term.
This program was interesting to me because I felt like it was a great opportunity to explore and better understand the sustainability industry from various different angles, while also being able to learn from experienced professionals in the field. Ultimately, I would like to gain a deeper understanding of the energy sustainability industry from a financial perspective, and hopefully discover where I could potentially contribute to the industry in the future. I’m also excited to explore Seattle and learn more about the city along the way!
From a career perspective, I would like to build a deep understanding of how the financial aspects of sustainability contribute to a renewable energy company’s growth and success. In terms of impact, I hope to be part of developing and supporting projects that promote the sustainable use of clean energy in the future, while ultimately contributing to the global energy transition toward a more sustainable planet.
Growing up, I always had a strong interest in nature and I wanted to travel the world as a Zoologist. While my career interests have evolved over time, my interest in environmentalism has certainly been a major factor in pursuing a career path focused on energy sustainability.
