Sustainable fashion consultant and researcher. Master in sustainable business and innovation and chemical engineer

About

Since I was studying the chemical engineering degree, I had big interest in the environmental and social impact of all processes, I’ve been a volunteer for different foundations since I was young, so I’ve had the opportunity to see with my own eyes the damage we all have caused to our environment and society, so I decided that I would dedicate my professional life to help others. For me, working in sustainability helping different companies is my way to give back to our environment and society
