Current Employer/Organisation Name

ClimatePartner

What have you been doing since leaving Exeter, and what are you doing now?

It took me a while to land a job that fit, but I’ve been happily employed at ClimatePartner UK since graduating.

Why did you choose this career? And what do you enjoy most about your work?

I knew I wanted to work in sustainability, to try and use my working hours to do something impactful, for the good of the planet. I love the people I work with, I enjoy learning and being challenged everyday in my role, and I enjoy getting to assist and influence businesses to set net zero goals and decarbonise.

What did you enjoy most about your programme and what was the biggest highlight?

The friends I made, learning about how the world worked in a business sense, and  broadening my horizons.

What did you enjoy most about studying here?

Exeter is beautiful. 1 hour bike ride down to the coast, half hour drive to hiking in the Moors, a gorgeous countryside in Devon and Cornwall to explore, I couldn’t get enough!

Why did you choose to study at Exeter?

I wanted to find an MBA program with the greatest focus on Sustainability, The Exeter MBA was that program. When I joined, there was a female-lead faculty and some professors I really respected. The program fully met and sometimes exceeded my expectations.

What skills and experiences have been most useful for your career?

Being a quick learner, building confidence in my abilities to upskill and trusting my techincal knowledge.

What advice would you give to a current student who wishes to pursue your career?

If you can, find a company that will help train and upskill you. I honestly never thought I would be a carbon accountant, and yet here I am and really enjoying it!

What are your plans for the future?

I plan to stay at ClimatePartner and keep making contributions to a net zero world.
