Environmental Engineering + Anthropology (MSc)
Context
We live in a time where evolution is not only about going faster — it’s about building systems people trust. Competition can push performance, but collaboration builds resilience. With the right expertise, switching the vision is doable.
I design practical learning experiences and sustainability projects that work in real communities — by combining ecological knowledge with a human-centered (anthropological) lens.
If you’re looking to make your business/project more sustainable also socially, you found the specialist who can guide the transition.

Selected projects and roles where I worked inside real systems: teams, communities, institutions, and ecosystems.
2022 — 2025
A month-long moving learning lab: shared responsibilities, non-violent communication, conflict resolution, and participatory investigation across Europe.
Guiding learners from primary school to university through protected ecosystems — translating conservation into direct experience and clarity.
Volunteer organizer and stage host. Systems thinking, active listening practices, and community learning in a high-trust environment.
A framework-driven exploration of mobility, community, experiential learning, and how complex social systems shape connection and resilience.
How do complex social systems shape mobility and urban community life — and what conditions help people build real connection in fragmented environments?
Working direction
Designing solutions that treat social, economic, and ecological challenges as one system — so interventions become habits, and habits become culture.
Experiential cycle
Experience → reflection → concepts → testing in real contexts.
Bonding vs bridging
When community becomes inclusive and respectful, resilient networks emerge.
Third places
Spaces outside home/work that make belonging possible.
Systems thinking
We can intervene at three levels: Action (visible), Habit (repeatable), Culture (deep). The aim is to move beyond actions into habits — and shape culture.
Method vibe
Keep it grounded: observe, map patterns, test small interventions, measure social friction and learning.
I work at the intersection of science and human culture. From environmental education in protected areas to Erasmus+ experiential learning, I focus on what makes people cooperate — and what helps communities stay connected without ignoring ecological reality.
Professional quest
Efficiency with balance. Lasting solutions that people keep using.
Values
Honesty, respect, empathy — with real accountability.
Long game
Improve how I learn, lead, and communicate — to create impact that lasts.
