In her previous role, she focused on climate-centered projects, assessing and developing strategies for investments that promote environmental responsibility and social impact.

Her work required a deep understanding of both economic analysis and environmental impact, enabling her to help develop initiatives that benefit people and the planet alike.

In any country where we have the opportunity to volunteer, we are genuinely eager to learn the local language. We believe that understanding and speaking the local language not only helps us connect more deeply with the community but also shows our respect and commitment to the culture. We’re excited by the chance to communicate directly with those we work alongside and to gain a more authentic understanding of local customs and daily life.
